  • The wind is wintering down the road
  • Christmas time has come and gone
  • But the snow lingers
  • And the wind winters on…
  • And on…
  • And on…
  • And on…

  • Is it raindrops or teardrops that from thundering heavens fall?
  • If the ultimatum is all or nothing is the ultimate nothing at all?
    • Do we cling to life just to lose it at death or is new life a just rebirth?
    • Is hell below and heaven above or are both elemental on earth?
    • Is it dewdrops or teardrops that from gentle blossoms fell?
    • If the truth be told, it remains untold for daisies never tell.

  • Couldn’t you see that rearranged
  • and put just how you wanted me
  • that I would no longer be
  • she…
  • who you loved at first.

    • I am changed.

    Couldn’t you see?

    • Didn’t you know that when threatened
    • and hurt beyond hurt, I would go.
    • We do what we must do
    • so…
    • I find strength to say,

    “This is the end.”

    Didn’t you know?

  • Today she won’t be there.
  • The woman, who captured your attention
  • Who sat on the edge of her chair
  • As she kept you on the edge of your seat
  • And talked for hours.
  • Whose flashing eyes reflected your smile.
    • Today she won’t be there.
    • The woman who engaged you
    • In witty repartee for hours on end
    • She has her own husband
    • And family
    • And friends.
    • Today you’ll look around and see
    • She won’t be there.
    • As I sat quietly in the shadows
    • And tried not to listen,
    • Tried not to see your smile.
    • All the while knowing
    • The worst had come to pass.
    • You no longer see me there.
    • Tomorrow you will look and see
    • The shadows will be as empty
    • As the bed I warmed so willingly.
    • You’ll seek this woman tomorrow
    • And tomorrow she won’t be there.
