Lost In The Woods Of Words

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.
