DECEMBER FALLS
I stand before you as December falls
A light of solace
Cast on frosty walls
Winter heartbeat
Stumbled words allay
Freeze into silence
Hide my nerves away
All I wanted was a love that’s true
The only love I wanted found in you
Brushed away tears
White snowdrifts up
Said I’m sorry
But it’s not enough
Forgive these wild and rambling ways
Without the wisdom I can’t escape
I’ve clung to the dream now hushed awake
Carving the sorrow until it breaks
Guilt flickers slowly kindling much regret
There’s much to tell you
Though you won’t forget
I’ll leave the window open to my heart
In the moonlight shine
We’ll never part
You hold the future but there’s no time left
Arctic dusk of us I am bereft
Of hope I dreamt about fell like ice on ground
A deadened echo frozen crushed unbound
