WINTER'S SONG

It's summer in your world

 

While it's winter deep in mine

 

Your summer birds have all returned

 

With their hearts and wings aflame

 

 

And it's so well you play your part

 

That you could never see

 

The ice that's formed around my heart

 

At the mention of your name

 

 

Winter's song is all I sing

 

Lamenting time gone by

 

Forgetting hope that's born of spring

 

I see only cloudy skies

 

Winter's song is all I know

 

To tell of love that's flown

 

I can't see beyond tomorrow

 

And yesterday is dead and gone

 

  

And through the darkened night

 

My tears they fall like stars

 

But no one sees them in the light

 

No one there to take the blame

 

  

Winter's song is all I bring

 

Lamenting time gone by

 

Forgetting hope that's born of spring

 

I see only cloudy skies

 

Winter's song is all I know

 

To tell of love that died

 

Tomorrow seems so far to go

 

And yesterday is a song that lied.

[Cassandra]

Read very nicely. I loved the pictures and the metaphor and I have felt this way. The absence of a person has made me feel quite cold inside. To think they have love again and you don't anymore can make me think of them having 'summertime' while you're enduring the pain of missing them, the "winter's song'. I really enjoyed this.
