What Shouldn't See the Light of Day

Winter

Winter is a wondrous time

White blankets everywhere I look

It's a favourite season of mine

Until you left me, with nothing but a book

You left me in December

Gave no words in the Spring

I've wondered if you remember

How you caused my heart to sing

It is winter again,

but you are not here

I've been to our spot

It's buried in snow

The snow is so deep that

I'd die before finding the ground

And sometimes I want to. . .

to let the fluffy flakes envelop me in a deep embrace

Until my breath turns to

frost

And then be

missing

Winter is a wondrous time

It brought you to me,

took you from me,

and gave me final rest

 . . . . . . . . . . . Winter was a wondrous time
