Watching The Snow Fall

by Emily   Mar 18, 2012


Today I watched the snow
as it fell to the earth.
I couldn't help but think
that something was pointing me to you.
Another day has flown by
without a mention of your name.
Of what I would give
if I could just touch your face.

Tonight I believe I will think about the younger days
when we were both so happy, alive,
and at play.
But today I believe I will sit here alone,
on the window sill, always at home,
watching the snow fall.

The fire in this house, burns,
and it keeps me warm.
But nothing can warm what is cold,
alone, and dark,
sitting in my heart.

There is no sun outside, the clouds feast away
on the day, they leave no strays.
So today, I believe I will sit here and cry
another tear, another scream, another sign.
That I miss you so much that even the angels cry
for the love that was broken, on one single night.

But I will continue to waist away the day,
and I will watch as the seasons pass away.
You know, sometimes, I just like to be alone
during the winter time, hallow, so cold.
I will continue to sit here and watch the snow fall.

Tonight, when I think of your face,
I will remember all the good days.
Tonight, I will hold your picture tight,
and I will kiss your face, your grace,
and watch it all fly away.

Oh, fly away, from this place.
Up into the heavens where I would surly find your face.
Fly, far away from this earth,
I will stay here and watch the snow fall.
But, for once, I will believe,
it is all gone.
