I sit here by myself
unwilling to welcome
another dreary winter day
I look out my window
and watch frozen tears falling
obscuring everything that failed
so miserably
the snow is cold
what was I thinking
all those seasons ago
when I danced for you
in the snow
I close my eyes
and try to forget
all the magic melted
the snow was stained in blood
and even my heart
has turned cold
another winter is upon my soul
but I rest in peace
knowing it was a death we all needed
and in the spring
everything will be new again
