Christmas Snow

Send me across the road of repair Tell me I can run from despair I walk, close my eyes and pray The lies creep and traffic comes my way I die again and my eyes are open wide I cannot breathe as I panic then confide Restart my heart and never tell me I died Just let me live and make me think I tried I breathe, alone in a bloody wake Waves stare and show me what’s at stake I swim away from everything The blood swirls, and sharks begin to sing I die once more as I search for a heart that longs To be inside her as I scream it’s far too wrong This metaphorical, dreaming fading song It lets me see that inside my heart is gone Remind me please that I died so long ago Ironically it hits me when it snows I see your face every year, it lets me know I fell away from everything that lives and flows
