It was the winter of last year
with “Heather” playing in my room
I recalled you as though
you were the love I couldn’t ever gather
My ink traced your beauty
your hair, your skin and your blue
in the July autumn’s words
It pained me up till my throat
for your heart didn’t grow flowers
with my spring warmth
Today, “Heather”, plays again
but it doesn’t cause my heart to ache
for the spring flowers are long since dead
and the butterflies, have long since flown away
The Winter is mine
It brings to me white stillness
numbness, all I want to feel
and all I am okay with feeling
“Heather” still plays
