Love Poem: Below Zero

Below Zero

Bare branches and frosted limbs, 
reflect how we both feel within, 
it seems these days, our love is all but alive

Her smile is warm, but her shoulder's cold,
just as the sun still shines below zero, 
and it seems these days our love is all just a lie

Words that escape our trembling chins, 
cut as sharp and deep as winter winds, 
and our quivering hearts can't quell the hate

When common ground is blanketed with snow, 
it freezes seeds of love we've sown,
and it seems our frozen hearts are prone to break

And still our frostbitten fingers won't let go, 
so the sun still shines below zero.
