• i wish it would
    snow
    ice cold
    like last years
    heart

    i wish the leaves
    shaken by wind
    would have the
    glow
    of innocence
    - the purity of spring

    how the world
    can age
    us
    wither us
    shrivel our souls to nothing

    by what wonder
    can the same cruel winds
    that had risen a chill in our hearts
    bring forth
    growth
    an ability to feel
    and a sense of how fragile we really are

    i wish it would
    snow
    ice cold
    like last years
    heart

    just so i could feel again
    the jabbing pains.
