Winter

As winter, so is his Fate
Storm comes again,
Clouds block the Sun
Wind blows, the world turns white

How long will it last
The question hangs
Just like the breath
In the air thick and heavy, waiting

He stands at the door
You should go
Before its too late
Get wood, we will need fire

Her look is gentle
Even kind, he stares
He stills, what if she stays
No, not that, she must go

Like reading his mind
She tilts her face
To see him direct
I'm here to stay, I can't leave

But the darkness comes
The winds will howl
The snow will fall
For how long will it last, this time

The stillness comes
Like an avalanche
It is heavy and unbending
But she doesn't move, he stares

She rises, he watches
I can do this too
She piles the wood
Lights the tinder and gently blows

He turns away
This isn't right
Not the plan at all
How can it be not what I want

She puts on water
What is she doing
What is she thinking
I said go, she can't say

I don't mind
I like storms
And when Winter leaves
When Spring comes, then tell me bye

If you still must
If you still want
If you still need
But I will not leave while dark comes
