Twisted sheets gripping me
Like tendrils of snow
Calling me to sleep amongst them
Whilst my body slowly freezes
As these frozen hearts melt away
It'll never be the same here
Lying where it's quiet
Where the chaotic horidness cannot reach
Kneel down and pray to me
As if I were a god
Indulge my sense
And spoil me for once
Paint this sky jade
Stand as high as you can
For I know you will never reach
Feel the clouds bite
Your tender flesh will be torn
I know you'll never save me
Jade skies whispering to me
A majestic goddess amongst the trees
Her hands slender, her voice quivering
Whilst the snow grips my legs
And entwines with my arms
Lying here for hours on end
Pretending they say, it's all they say
For I've lain here on my own
And felt the cold upon my skin
Reality their cause, imagination their excuse
Yet they cannot accept
When I forget which is which

Wow. That was absolutely fantastic. I can't imagine how on earth you came to this poem from that pic, but you did an amazing job. The imagery was astounding. "frozen hearts," "jade skies," majestic goddess among the trees." This was, in a word, beautiful. Best of luck in the contest.
Write on.

When I have a prompt I tend to pick up on one or two features of the prompt rather than the general idea, in this case the sheets caught my attention.
...Which now that I write it sounds a little odd. Lol.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
