The battles much too hard, he won’t stand tall To make just one in love his final goal. I grieve this may be loss and touch the snow; I pray that he recovers by the light but deep in heart this fear I’ve come to know Will return when the day turns into night. His eyes hold back a pain I've felt before I start to shudder while our worlds collide Just when I really couldn’t ask much more He turns his back on me as if to hide. If I can’t find him then it’s bitter cold; His heart lies still, his story I have told. Rose on "For Nitro!

Was my ode sufficiently crap? I'm certainly out of practice!
