Reaching for Falling Snow

Drake's apology to his ex-girlfriend, Snow. Lyrics for the story "A Gift for Snow."

♪ "Leave me alone!” I shouted one afternoon
And that ambitious smile of yours faded
But I just turned and left, guiltless of how I treated you

I avoided your face, dripping with warm tears
I didn’t want to be salty, but you pushed me
It was so annoying, dealing with small, clumsy you

It was nice to hang with my cheesy friends again, without you

Hearing the fans at my door squeal my name

Though be aware, even I need a break from this

I scribbled a note and leave for fresh air

Strolling along in a blue hoodie you had bought me, I wish

My memories weren’t so descriptive

Then my steady rhythm faded as I watched you throw yourself into traffic

And a semi came by and broke your petite figure

I couldn’t breath, it couldn’t be real

I held you, dying in that dress I loved so much

It was pointless, no matter how I screamed for help

No one would care to hear

I wish I had removed that selfish mask

Your comforting smile distinct in my mind

You never deserved that

I wish I could take it all back

I’m sorry… ♪

I actually ended up going three lines over the word count, so three lines don't have the required words in it, so if I get disqualified because of that, that's cool, I understand.

This poem is the lyrics to a song in another story I made. This actually came first, then I shaped the story around it. My inspiration that I played a hundred times over while typing this and my other story was Lost Time Memory sung by Soraru.

This technically isn't the full song, and I'm not sure if I'll ever finish it, but this is just the gist of it.
