My candle burned bright, crackling against the chill of my room

The wind rushed across my window

Making my blinds shudder with fear

But I knew there was nothing to be afraid of

Jack was just paying me a visit

He was disappointed in how the world stole my hope

He just wanted me to feel again

So he coated the streets in white

Like clouds, they billowed up

The violence and grief trapped under his shawl

I walked outside and sat 

My wet hair started to freeze, but I didn’t mind

But I wanted nothing more than the silence I was enveloped in

Jack soundproofed the streets

It felt for a few seconds of the millions I’ve experienced 

That I wasn’t in fear

That my thoughts were still

Time was frozen in its place

Much like my fingers that I was desperately trying to warm

I wish I always felt like that

Living despite fear

I begged Jack to stay

But he and I knew he couldn’t 

But I didn’t want to lose my hope again

I quietly wished that the silence would stay forever

I still dreamed of an eternal winter

Jack Frost and I

Forever evading Helios

So that my mind would take a break from its everlasting race

And I could finally breathe
