Fall and Winter

I spent fall with you

And fell into your frigid winter embrace

 

We went trick-or-treating in the dark

And we took walks in the park

But in the end

You were colder than winter

And you froze my heart

 

We loved in fall

And I gave you my all

I changed my clothes like leaves

So that I could see you pleased

But my warmth was never enough

To melt your frosty heart

 

I needed you there

But you never cared

You were colder than winter

I was warm like fall.

    Today I’m reminding myself

    Of how far I’ve come,

    All the years I’ve spent

    Living in pain
