He came softly and surely
With a smile that made you love him.
He stroked your cheek and leaned toward you for nearly a kiss
He drew back as you yielded to his embrace.
He enveloped you in his cloak and drew you near
Where you should have felt his warmth instead of the frigid chill
That singed your body and soul.
He drew you closer, took your hand and Led you to the land from which you’d never return.
