Winter In My Heart

Days grow longer, solstice is nigh, Nature's rehearsing her part; But a bitter cold hangs over me, It's still winter in my heart I laid my heart on the table, I took a gamble...... but I lost; The dream of love faded and became A nightmare, preserved in the frost I wrapped my loneliness in a shroud And buried it deep in my heart, Late one night, he pulled a thread.... It unraveled and all came apart You can't recall love once it has flown, When the arrow has left the bow... Like a slow death from a grievous wound, You wait for the final blow I closed the window... the chill's too strong, For me, Spring may never start; I'll wrap myself in solitude, It's still winter in my heart
