Winter of Our Bitterness

Audio

 

I vent the wind to feel the cold again.


Never knew a winter to feel like this.

Why would we ever agree to live like this?


Those first few days promised summers of bliss

But this is the winter of our bitterness.

The seed of frost was in the first kiss

But who could have ever known it would end up like this.


I knew, I knew, I knew like snowflakes flew

Sideways, in my face. I know it’s not just the taste.


It is the bite, it is how much you give 

When I press you between these old bones called my teeth.

It is the look when I walk in the room.

Do I light up your eyes or do they fall like icicles 

do?


Those first few days promised summers of bliss

But this is the winter of our bitterness.

The seed of frost was in the first kiss

But who could have ever known it would end up like this.

 

You knew, you knew. I told you all. You knew too.

Sideways, to your face. This is a huge mistake.


I don’t want to know what you think of me

Or if you look at me what do you see

I wish you’d freeze. I would shatter you with a blow.

I’d leave you silent. You’d melt long after I 

go.


Those first few days promised summers of bliss

But this is the winter of our bitterness.

The seed of frost was in the first kiss

But who could have ever known it would end up like this.

 

You knew, I knew. We knew like snowflakes flew

Sideways, in our face. This is a goddamn disgrace.


I have given to you all of these years.

All you are getting from me is more icicle 

tears.
