Winter's Tale

How could it possibly get worse

With winter's wind howling in my head

Wherever I look is emptiness,

Except my heart; that already is dead.

And as I close my eyes,

Snow collects on my lashes,

And I see your watery eyes,

A golden ray through my hair dashes.

All I see is summer now,

And your fingers laced with mine,

As we slowly walk the April mornings,

And clear skies above us shine.

The sun is at its mightiest now,

As you dissolve in the sweet July melody,

And all I can do is gaze at you,

As the birds sing and warm winds mosey.

Cool wind is brushing through my hair,

As to chase you along the sea I run.

My heartbeat rises and ebbs with the waves beside

As we kiss in the setting September sun.

And now I'm leaning beside you.

Your eyes closed, hands cold as ice,

As I try to wake you up,

Disbelief in me entities.

And as I achingly open my eyes,

A sharp thrill bites my heart,

As the emptiness of winter brings to me.

The truth that stings as a dart.

I stand still like the frozen land,

And feel lifeless like a winter's tree.

As I realize that you're time that's gone.

I have you but as a memory.

And as soon as I realize this,

Every cell in me screams.

I need you love, I want you back,

And melancholy at me brightly beams.
