Here I sit again
Pondering the mess that we were
Thinking of you
How I was so **** sure
That I could change you
That I could make it better
Then I learned that not everything we believe turns out true
I’m still bruised
And piece by piece I am being reassembled
But it’s hard to do when it’s so cold
Out on the curb where you  threw my heart
The snow piled on top
My hands numb from picking up the pieces
Stuck in your world

I’m tired of your Bronx winter
Never seeing the sun
That melts away the snow
Never seeing the illuminating stars
That help me find my way
The cold blurs my vision
Freezing the tears in my eyes
Your winter is that sad song on repeat
That I can’t seem to get off my mind

People walked past me
Pretending not to see a thing
Stepping on pieces of what we were supposed to be
Stuck to the bottom of their shoes
Even though it tugs at my heart strings
I let us go
Out into the city streets
Amongst the careless litter
Forgotten under your snow
Just another one of your lost things
In your winter so bitter

As I ran off into the distance
The clouds blew away
The sun started shining
As the snow melted away
I realized
I’m my own sun
and I’m going to shine all year long
I don’t want to be forgotten under your snow
Or left out in the cold
That is your winter
Not mine
and maybe one day
You’ll find your sun too
I really hope that you do
