Our favorite seasons frame our current state
Yours is fall and mine is spring you may recall
But this soft snowy wind has seen my heart elate
And this warmest winter ice has enticed me to fall

You may believe my affections flighty and without strong favor
Flurries of shyness may make my emotions difficult to construe
But really my fondness is like sunlight masked by a cloudy layer
Present always even if invisible to you

I would prefer to be clearer but all this seems so undefined
Even the lines of your figure for granted take I do not dare
If I reach out my hand I fear it will not solid matter find
But only thin films of hope hanging in the air

Whatever we have, for certainty I wouldn't trade it
I love the blinding power of the wind swept snow
To have known the sweetness of your kindred spirit
Is indeed a splendid happiness to have known

No, this is surely neither spring nor fall
Still this may now be my favorite season of them all
Climbing up that slippery *****
Hubris gave my step a jump

Or perhaps nervous nature allowed me to it project
Regardless, I fell as one might predict

Fell on my face
Sprawled like a bug on a pin
Like Prufrock in all of his indecisions
He warned me too, warned me not to fall
But fall I did and fall I do
How I am falling and falling for you
I don't want to lose you but I'm afraid to hang on
My heart beats
involuntarily
even faster
my leg twitches

up and down

this endless unrest
without direction
yet without digress
is a cruel occupation
Because I love you in the least creepy way possible
The first snowfall is such an innocent thing
As it falls nicely, landing and melting on your nose
But soon it builds
Accumulates
And it gets to the point where you can't remember a time when you didn't have this weight pushing down all around you all of the time

The first snowfall is such an innocent thing
Finished with the drama
With the boy
I have no friends here
And I feel so alone
But my thoughts won't leave me that way

They won't leave me alone
My heart is still beating hard
My breath still short
Even though he sent that text long ago

It's been an hour since he wrote
And that terse "It's fine"
Ricocheted through my brain

I leant his tie to someone else
Without asking

I leant my crush's tie to someone else
Without asking

But "It's fine"

It is so not fine
Your taciturn texts made that clear
And it will never be fine again
So why am I still here?

I'll never see love that I can tell
But I suppose that it's just as well
If only I could stop falling in love
If only I could stop falling for you
For anyone
I think that I would be happier alone
If only I could stop falling
It's making me sick
I might puke
I need to stop
Stop
Stop
Please Stop
The Lord gives Life
Today and everyday
People take Life
Take it and throw it away

I pray for rebuke
For guidance severe
For my arrogant heart
May the Good Lord be near
