We used to march in red parades,
Where the shade was a heavenly place
But the cadences have faded,
Now echoing in the distance.
I remember when the cold stuck like blades,
When the searing sun glared down
When water was the gift of angels
I remember before I was tangled in my own heartstrings,
Stuck in the middle
Like our parachutes in grade school
But that is something I left in the light
Before I was shoved into this shadowy abyss
I remember when I knew bliss to be
Looking outside and seeing a landscape of snow,
Cheering with excitement.
Now, I am only as dead as winter
But people still applaud.
I wilt and wait
For summer to catch me again,
To save me from turning to ice
And then, I will be able to hear
The cadence of my heart once more.
