Seasons

I woke up somewhere between

A memory and a dream

The morning bells and dawning light

They tell me that I won the fight

To make it through another night

(Without you by my side)

Remember Easter when I showed you I was broken

A truth we kept between us, purposely unspoken

I gave you that music box then as a simple token

And yt was then that you finally were opened

(And I prayed that you'd never leave)

Or the June night when you fell apart

And in pieces asked for a brand new start

I decided then I'd play the part

Of a watchman to thy heart

(You told me that you finally had a home)

And then came the days of life serene

But nothings ever as permanent as it seems

We danced beneath the streetlights faded gleam

Then Autumn's fire burned our hollow dreams

(And I knew not the words to speak)

The winter's dirge played gently on the air

As I swam against the currents of despair

And learned to live my life without you there

While trying to find a reason I should care

(As Eden burned I sat idly by)
