A winter chill engulfs my heart
A mix of emotions from the start
Can I number all that's lost?
Lost as prisoners kept apart
Prisoners of each other
Yet, never knowing each other
Prisoners of what could have been
Whle trapped into what has been
Would our story be different
had we read between the signals sent?
Would we walk a simpler path
had the undertones been rent?
Our eyes speak what our hearts say
Silent words that never pass away
No undoing what's begun
No undoing yesterday
Turning toward the chill of winter
Hoping warmth would soon enter
Soon enter this bond of unscheduled love
Lasting far beyond the final dying ember
