Four Seasons

The leaves turn brown as autumn comes in As does our friendship which now comes near an end There was time well spent as we frolicked in the sun But now all the ties must come undone It is believed we are here for only a season To stay past that there must be a reason But if you can not fulfill your obligation I bid you farewell as I take on the nation Our hearts turn cold as winter befalls us Not white like snow but bleak like the trees around us Our feelings are buried and there’s no room for growth This ‘ship that we have death has a hold Winter has come and I search for new warmth While you hold on to your cool in search of my warmth I’ve locked the door and I’ve stoked the fire You bring me warmth with a heart of ice, you are a liar The cabin is set and the healing has come A knock at the door and spring has begun Her radiant smile and that vibrant energy The bird and the bees work in beautiful synergy The April showers bring in May flowers And the walls built up over winter come down like the towers To bring in a new and revitalizing feeling And appreciate what life has done to bring in some healing Then summer sets in and the passion turns hot A nice cold shower to bring it to not The sand in our toes, the sun on our backs Step on a crack and break your mother’s back The games kids play, we’re having our fun The world all around us, enjoying what is beneath the sun Cold still tries to creep in through the heat of the day But through all the four seasons, I want you to stay So it is known people are only around for a season And as said before to stick around longer there must be a reason If I dismissed you please don’t come back And if you dismissed yourself there is no helping that.
