Winter brings crystal tears
that forms on eyelashes
that never once blinked
Eyelashes upon eyes
that stare silently
at your retreating back
Unblinking in a snow storm
Winter brings a quietness
where I stared at your back
and yelled
*Don't walk away, please stay
I'm so cold without you
Landscapes of white are faded
taking away the sparkle of the jewel
Don't walk away, please stay*
I'm screaming silently
to a retreating back
in a snowstorm
a back with shoulders hunched
a back which has no face
a back which is retreating
from an unmarked time or place
as snowflakes fall upon hair
they melt beneath the burn
no breathe could I take to lie
The cold I expected would make
it a lesson that I should learn
Instead the mist of Winter
escapes my frozen lips
all that came out as a whisper
was this,
Turn! Please, just turn.
