the cold

the cold quivers my lips

I belonged to you for so long

the ice crunches beneath my feet

I miss your arms around me 

the snow melts and spring comes

Do you tell her what you told me? 

flowers bloom and die again 

The ache lessens every day you are gone

summer dawns and sun bakes my paleness 

I have changed so much since we last spoke 

the glistening of the ocean calms my fears 

I know our silence is irreparable 

fall has fallen on me and cold breeze sets in 

Smiling comes effortlessly 

as the leaves change like my innermost soul 

I become free
