A Cold Dilemma

I’ve got to get away from here

Well the whole town is painted white
The artist is creating a nocturnal light
And it’s bitter and cold here tonight

The afflicting frost blankets over  me
It’s only tonight that I’ll be able to see
Anything that I will and will not be

Through the memories and miseries, I weave
There are no stories left here for me to conceive
And it’s only this night that I’ll be able to leave

I take one last glance at the snow capped homes
Feeling a sad, lonely chill tremble through my bones
…A cold that almost burns
And then my thought turns…

Maybe I’ll just stay right here
