Overwinter

I ran so hard I fell out of view
To seek you
I seized the moment seconds too soon
To please you
I stole myself to face the consequence
Of our actions
I don't see the art in self-defense
No compassion

The winter fell so hard on our home
Howling
Misreading all the words that were thrown
Drowning
I felt the icy wind swirl over me
But all was silent
Your guiding light was an incendiary
Only violence

Oh winter
Oh you

Days turn to nights and nights into days
Nature falls silent ready to brace
I see no beauty in this decay

Oh winter
Oh you

Oh winter
Oh you
Oh winter
Oh you
