Winter

Winter is back

Bitter and cold, it slaps you

Thinking of last year

You sit there so sad

Snow on the ground reminds you that it’s hard

The wind blows on your face

Your nose, oh so cold

You have forgotten the soft warm touch of his kiss

In the dark all you hear is silence

You are afraid

Then one day

 

You realize the harsh bitter truth, you never needed him

He is long gone and all is fine

He is just the old cold shadow following you

He no longer has the power, you can look into his face

You can change the shape of the shadow, it’s yours

It never belonged to him, he never had the power

The soft warm touch was your mind, it was your hand and your heart

The heart that you gave to him but now you can take it back

It was never his too keep

It’s just a matter of time

When you sit there looking out the window

Sitting next to your dog, not a sound around

Christmas lights glimmering, don’t forget you are not alone

It was always you and winter battling

So turn around and walk away from the shadow

And take what’s yours

so long winter
