I am calm like a sunbathing cat during summer afternoons
My early mornings devoted yo reaching a state of peace
That even haunting harsh words cannot reach me
As snow dwindles down a staircase of wind to the earth
I slowly head down a slope of bad memories and crazed emotions
Until I am at the bottom and I can breathe again

Coming back to Earth before the sun rises is tiring
Earthly wants and desires flood my mind
And there I am in bed during the pitch black mornings
My shoulders no longer ache and my eyes can wander without hiring
But it's lonely, I'm lonely
What is peace without company

What is watching the snow without someone who sees pictures
In flurries the same way I do
Or laying in the cool grass with just enough light to see the stars
Or simply wishing to hold someone's hand and connect the dots
Between the freckles on their arms
It's terribly lonely

My stance of keeping two people distantly by my side
And leading the year alone because I thought it would be fun
However many time I tell myself in fine
And that I enjoy the quiet
Not fretting over something I can't control
But I'm so lonely
