Blizzards And Bygones

Back when the angels of heaven would sing

Days when I still made you feel something

And before what might be

Became what's already been

Blizzards and bygones

The frost and no thaw

Airways constricting

And vessels withdraw

And you look around but find yourself all alone

And you hunker down but the cold's

Already in your bones

There’s a flicker of desire

And a memory of youth

A faintly

Glowing fire for some truth

I lit a fire

It started then stopped

Elements will conspire

And mercury drop

Can you stand the weather

If winter lasts forever?
