Gloom blooms alongside the iceberg
Winter brings an unwanted harvest
We make a stew with our sad and our cabbage
Hoping to be tided over 'til spring

This passes in a blink
Though I think
I'll sleep for most of it
I'll just skip winter this year

Who decided it would be this way?
At what point did our genes develop the script
That said our happiness was dependent on the sun
That the cold would frost our hearts leaving lives stunned

I feel trapped in these months
Has time slowed down?
Or am I counting seconds as hours
Trading mole hills for towers

It would be better with you here, I think,
Though I know not from experience
My winters have always been lonely
I think you'd just disrupt that tradition

Though with contritions head reared
I will still ask for the experiment
Let me take your coat
Our bodies have warmth enough as two

If I close my eyes, I feel the cold dissipating,
Yes, surely it's spring
With a fire in my belly
I feel my heart thawing

Perhaps this season won't be so bad
Perhaps I'm through with stews of sad
Perhaps, just perhaps, I've found a solution
To ebb my wallowing for good
