scarlet poet

snow hitting my nose

I look at you like you\'re perfect for me.

you stare back into my eyes

 and we have matching rosy cheeks.

snow keeps softly hitting my nose.

 

you loved the winter time,

I hated the cold.

you kept me warm

like it was the end of the world.

 

you loved these moments together

here in the snow.

hugging me while I shivered,

like you were protecting me from the weather.

 

pretending you were the only one

with a heart of ice.

expecting like we weren\'t done,

like I\'m a tourist attraction.

 

but after all the frostbite

you gave to me,

I\'m the real heart of ice

and I\'ve never felt so free.

 

you really expected me to take you back?

like I\'m SO forgiving.

like I\'m SO understanding.

but I am no toy to be played with.

 

I am my own kind of woman.

I can warm myself up.

I don\'t need a man in the winter,

especially one who thinks I\'m that messed up.

 

I know you want to go back again

to the winter, in the snow,

but I wish you knew me then,

I preferred dancing in the rain.

 

but now I\'m waiting at the train station,

on my own,

wishing we had that \"movie love\"

while snow softly hits my nose.
