HALF A WILDLING

                            snowfall SILENCED with the suffocation of algid death, still winter air SLICING into barricaded lungs ; footfalls CRUNCHED with interrupting punctuation, arhythmic steps given CADENCE due to a distracted mind. slate gaze turned to the east, NARROWING against bitter wind, flitting in concentration across abstract shapes that turned to GHOSTS in the night. 

                    i see what you are, snow. half a  W O L F  and half a  W I L D L I N G, baseborn get of a traitor and a whore. You would deliver a highborn maid to the bed of some stinking savage. did you sample her yourself first? If you mean to kill me, do it and be damned for a  K I N S L A Y E R.  stark and karstark are one blood.

                     my name is SNOW.

                                                         BASTARD.

                                                                              GUILTY. of that at least.

And he alone of all the direwolves was white. Six pups they’d found in the late summer snows, him and Robb; five that were grey and black and brown, for the five Starks, and one white, as white as Snow.

                                                ( I PRAY FOR A GLIMPSE OF AZOR AHAI,                                                    AND R’HLLOR SHOWS ME ONLY SNOW. )

that’s the least of all my fears.

please forgive me.

devil’s gonna follow me wherever i go.

i’m a dead man walking.

you only know what i want you to.

i know everything you don’t want me to.

you think your dreams are the same as mine.

i wish you’d hold me.

i don’t have a choice but i’d still choose you.

you’ve been lonely too long.

let me in the wall you’ve built around.

let me hold your hand.

you’re like a mirror, reflecting me.

i never meant to get us in this deep.

i wish you were the one that got away.

oh, if i could go back in time. 

i wish i’d never seen your face.

he’s hidden his heart away.

all he really wants is for someone to want him back.

what i choose is my choice.

the killer in me is the killer in you.

you’re sunlight.

you’re my favorite song, always on the tip of my tongue.

look what you’ve done.

you own me with whispers like poetry.

your mouth is a melody i memorize. 

oh lord, what have i done?

i’ve fallen in love with a man on the run.

don’t take that sinner from me.

i’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like you.

i just want to take him home.

he did what he had to do.

give me the burden, give me the blame. i’ll shoulder the loud and  i’ll swallow the shame.

don’t care if he’s guilty. don’t care if he’s not.

he’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that i’ve got.

i saw heaven every day.

don’t you fret my dear, it’ll all be over soon.

i’ll be waiting here for you.

i don’t want to talk right now.

for all that we’ve got, don’t let go.

i can’t pull you closer than this.

it’s just you and the moon on my skin.

just hold me.

she’s in love and she won’t be again.

i’m going to go home.

why are you so far from me?

in my arms is where you are to be.

how long will you make me wait?

i don’t know how much more i can take.

i’m still waiting patiently.

i wanna leave you.

i wanna give up.

i’m gonna say it if you won’t.

stop saying those sweet things you know i like to hear.

you’re right here with me.

you can’t blame me.

haven’t you noticed me drifting?

i’ve got to let you go.

i just keep losing myself.

one glance was all it took.

give me one more chance.

won’t you please let me into your heart?

i was blind to let you go.

i want you back.

trying to live without your love is like one long sleepless night.

i’m coming home real soon.

i love the best i can.

whatever you do, keep it with you.

sometimes i can’t tell where i am.

through it all we still remain.

all the king’s horses and all of his men couldn’t tear us apart.

i gave you all the love i’ve got.

this is no ordinary love.

i gave you more than i could give.

you’ll always be the only one.

i could get over you but please don’t ask me to.

you always said you want me to be happy but happiness was having you here with me.
