i miss your winter

The sun, your attempt to hide the flakes,
Of the cold blizzard brainstorm.
The pain to watch it wash away,
And pretend your heart is warm.

I miss your winter, when I could see,
The reality in the snow.
The mask is back as spring rolls up,
And prettier flowers grow.

I used to stand in the drift’s and watch,
Now you hide pain behind the melt.
The storm was rough, but it was real.
The secret to how you felt.

The sting of the cold was too much for you,
But I took the bite with love.
The sun can’t wash away your fears,
Rather it covers them up like a glove.

You can’t hide the ice forever,
I would have withstood your blizzard.
If only you put your sun away,
I really miss your winter.
