I woke this morning to a chill throughout the house
Not even a mouse would dare to scurry about
My toes curled as my feet touch the floor
Trying to hide from the feel of the cold upon my flesh
Goosebumps completely covering me from head to toe
Oh, cruel, cruel Winter
Why must you inflict me this way
You make me not want to stay
I dream of warmer days
With the sun across my back
As I lay upon the beach floor
And swim deep in the warmth of the ocean’s bed
But at the snap of a finger
Reality hits me and the wrath of your coldness
Remains at my door
My only solace is your delightful beauty
Once the first Winter snow falls
Covering all of our surroundings
Upon the night fall
The moon and the star’s light up the evening sky
There’s nothing more beautiful you could ever see
So I guess it’s worth it to be caught up in your hold
For three whole months before your departure
So my old friend Winter
I guess I’ll take you
Since I don’t seem to get to leave you
Treat me well as I’m caught under your spell
