You

It floats down like a melancholy chord
gushing from the speakers
I find it around every lonely corner of my mind
beaming, you're all eyes and teeth
this feeling creeps along my spine
and spurs on every solitary move
like a steadily woven web of a spider
and I walk down winding roads
painted in muted pastels
searching for this thing that I've lost
and found repeatedly
and then that face, all bright and dark
ignites the frozen tundra of my heart
you've found me again in a fairytale place
put rings on my hands
and crowned my head, beaded with sweat
the evidence of a long and tiring journey
