The winter cold shakes my bones

I'm wondering here all alone

walking on the clean white snow

contemplating which way to go



The winter sun cuts my eyes

my emptyness, it hurts inside

I know I should be happy, I know I should be glad

but when I'm walking here alone, I only feel so sad



The trees stretch their arms, and reach for the sky above

a couple walking hand in hand, looking so in love

The world before my feet, a world I should be ready to conquer

but startled by my own weakness, I'm beginning to wonder



Can I stop my emotional decay

before I turn into my memories of yesterday

I know there are things that I cannot change

things that are simply out of my range



But I can't control my anger or my emptiness

and it leads me into torment and so much more distress

the snow caves in under my shoes

I'm still thinking, have I anything left to lose?



The sky is getting clouded, and the wind begins to blow

So I'm walking a bit faster as my thoughts continue to flow

I'm taking a deep breath, hoping it'll erase my memories

life would be so much easier if I could forget all my grief



I'm turning around starting to walk home

strolling along this unpredictable path all alone

as I get back to my apartment I’m feeling a bit better

but I’m still looking forward to the optimistic summer weather
