Winters Loss
the moonlight glistened
against the freshly fallen snow,
as we walked we held hands
our coats were no protection
against the winters wind,
we loved then,
and were one on that cold winters night
but as the night faded and the daylight began to break
once again we had to part
you drove home in your battered old chevy,
the one we used to laugh about,
but the dead of winter got you
and you never made it home,
the old, worn tires lost their traction
on the snow covered ice,
they lost their grip
and skidded out of control,
they tell me you died instantly
for you their was no pain,
the pain of losing you is all mine
I still feel the love for you I had then,
death holds no bars
and it takes whomever it wants.
