I lie awake in the cold

I lie in wait for the snow

Whatever is lying in your self

I’m not sure I can ever know

Why you are lying to yourself

I would like to know

Are those snow flakes tumbling down

White sparkles dancing in the light

Crashing evermore into the ground

The wind sprints in and through and out

My mind whirls all about

You want to dance

But you don’t know how to speak

You don’t ever ask me for help

I assume you think I must be weak

I turn from a light crouch

To a fearsome stance

I flex my muscles at the sky

All the world travels past me

I can do nothing but wonder why

We speak the same language

But the words go screaming by

I sometimes wonder if you think at all

Or are you an automaton

Following the script laid out for you

Sometimes I wonder if you think of me at all

But I usually let those moments pass

And move on, move on.

Snow crystals falling down

So unique, cliché and all

You come crumbling down

Tears and screeches and carrying on

I pay it no mind

I’ve seen it a million times

Just another snowflake moving on
