Cold Of Winter

I've seen these pages turn

And said I knew it from the start

That your face changes with the seasons leaves

With the cold of winter dripping from your nose

You threw it away as cold as the air when you said

"I don't think I should stay

It's far too warm

The leaves are still bearing green

And I can't keep

My ice heart"

So seasons pass and change

But I still lie awake on cold fall days

When the months become years

And the years still bring tears that freeze up

On your face

I split your ribs and with the warmth of mine

Melt your ice heart
