A delayed winter
Yet somehow it's still autumn

Even in sadness we show our smiles not our tears

Taking the prick of the rose stem
Seeing the barren wood of the trees yet it's getting warmer
Letting my tears fall because I have not the strength to smile now

My skin proves sensitive to the cut of the rose
My heart grows a gloomy silence as I look at my wound
The dried leaves float across the floor
Carrying away the salt of my tears on the ground

This is really hard
