Winter

It's winter now

And I don't know how

To be anything but empty

Families die, children cry

People lie, and the snow

It won't come down

Love is a confusing thing,

One part duty, one part nostalgia

All parts quiet

Until the loss

And the world is cold now

Cold in the air

Cold in the ground

Cold inside my bones

And I wish my heart

Was warm enough

To mourn the way I should

No meaningful memories to share

As they put you in the dirt

Just this icy feeling

That everything is wrong

Because we we never close

But you were always there

And this winter you are gone
