I wept for a night on my pillow,
When I'd failed and wandered astray;
You saw my tears and forgave me,
And gave joy at the dawning of day.

I wept all night with deep sorrows,
Lamenting a love that had gone;
You sent me peace as I slumbered,
And I woke with new hope at the dawn*

pretty girl,
beware,
the boys are out to get you
they'll take away your flower
they want what's only yours

pretty girl,
blossom slowly,
stay in your cocoon for now
for summer can only last so long
and soon it will be over

the cold air
can be seen
every time
we take a breath

my tears sting
as they race
down my cheeks
to soak into my scarf

my hand has
gone numb
and no longer had
yours to hold

Christmas music plays
jingling merrily
as my heart
shatters to the beat.

the words
dancing off your lips
hanging in the air
as if they were mistletoe

”i’m sorry”
i watch as you turn your back
and walk away
for the last time.
