98

I don't know the reason

Yea, I never got the why

but, with the changing of the seasons

you were no longer mine

maybe it was the chill 

that blew in through the leaves

or the sudden loss of daylight 

that used to keep us warm

for as I watched your smile 

in the shadow of the night

it splintered into fractures

as a grimace slowly formed

I used to listen to the song, 

"it's 2 am and she calls me because

I'm still awake, 

can you help me unravel my latest mistake? 

I don't love him, 

winter just wasn't my season."

Now the cold air sinks to the depth of my 

fare bleeding heart

and I realize winter is just the start

perhaps I will love you when 

dawn turns to spring

maybe you'll love me 

when the leaves turn to green 

and the frost becomes flowers and dances

but today in the twilight of 

a six o'clock moon

I feel your spine stiffen

to the breath that I hold

so snuggle another 

and find me in May

for again with the flowers, 

might our love grow again
