~~~~So Long~~~~

"Would you be the savoir of the broken, the beaten and the damned"…that’s the best quote ever.
Winter is so long.
But why?
Is it to remind you you need to be awoken?

Or as I believe.
To give you pain that’s not your fault.
Frostbite,
That you did not cause.

Shivering you did not do to others.
Wind you blew.
Cold sweat in the middle of the night,
Not from bad dreams.

Blindness you did not want.

So long.....
Sometimes not long enough.
All you need is that shiver.
That bite of frost.
Snapping you back to reality.

Being blind from the soft snow.
The snow looks inviting.

But it gives you frost bite.

Shivers.
Blindness.

Who ever said things are deceiving?

So long.....
Long ago....
In the present...
The past...
And future to come.
You can’t escape it.

It’s not inviting.

So long.
