Winter Crown

The snow is falling gently to the ground

there through my window pane a world of cheer

I stared into the fire as I frowned

thinking of what to do to bring you near.

Leaving us all alone out in the cold

You cant be here with me to watch the snow.

Why cant you listen to what you've been told?

Where ever did you go; I miss you so.

I thought that I saw you here with me, but

another ghosted memory replays.

My door will to a friend never be shut;

My heart can never close to you these days.

A new year surely brings you back around

My leaping mind will never touch the ground.

The snow is falling gently to the ground

And once bare trees now gently clad in white

the holy stars watch as we look around

as we waltz through their ethereal light

deep into your eyes I look and I see

The light of heavens sparkle back so bright

I'm not sure what it is you see in me

I care not on this magic Christmas night

As we approach my home, I see the glow

of Tannenbaum, the Chrismas tree inside

adorned with strings of lights for all to see

topped with a star of such majestic pride

Magical more because you are with me

I point for you to see, and hold you near;

there through my window pane a world of cheer

There through my window pane a world of cheer,

but stuck inside alone I cannot feel

naught but illness, which like a bandolier,

weighs down on me, but it is barely real.

While outside children spread joy in the snow

my mind is blanketed in painful thoughts

How much longer can I take all these No's

it chips away my happiness and rots

the spirit which in me still strives to see

the perfect person I have never met

I need that person now to set me free

cut me loose from this choking tangled net

as cries go unheard echoing around

I stared into the fire and I frowned.

I stared into the fire and I frowned;

It seems to me the flame in you went cold.

A passion and persistence both now drowned

In shattered dreams because of what you're told.
