just a little longer

I can't wait for winter
when snow tumbles from the sky.
Softly, it dances 'round my skin.
The window where I linger,
once I've journeyed back inside,
teasing, it gently pulls me in.
Sometimes I feel bitter
that I can't seem to decide
whether I'll stay awake or sleep will win.
Yet the little flakes of silver
and the excuses they provide,
exhausted, I somehow still give in.
