December Winds

————

It came in a flurry, 

Brought by December winds;

A spark that I'd buried away.

And that spark burned ages ago,

But I shut my eyes and let it go.

Yet, somehow I've found it again.

Can't we rewind the story?

Can't we turn back the page?

All these questions I'm after 

Are suddenly standing in my way.

Can't I melt the frost around you?

This time, I won't run away.

As the winter snow falls,

I'm reminded of all we could save.

You're eyes were a riddle,

So I built a barricade.

But, now I see something I missed.

And it's been an awful long time,

But that doesn't mean that we can't find

Something more.

Can't we rewind the story?

Can't we turn back the page?

All these questions I'm after 

Are suddenly standing in my way.

Can't I melt the frost around you?

This time, I won't run away.

As the winter snow falls,

I'm reminded of all we could save.

And I can't help but find

All the branches I've broken.

What it is we have lost

Is fragile and frozen.

Can't we just leave behind

The mistakes; most of them mine?

I promise I won't run away this time.

So rewind.

So let's rewind the story,

Let's turn back the page. 

I no longer have questions,

But you stand unchanged.

Let me melt the frost around you;

This time I won't run away.

I will stay.

As the winter snow falls, 

I will stay.

I refuse to withdraw;

I will stay.

Just think of all we could save.
