You've ripped the kindness from my voice,

tender words had become a haunting white noise;

The hold you had over me, still steals me into occasional misery,

I just want to feel happy for an utter second,

for more than a moment,

I don't constantly want to fall,

Just like them all;

Led me out from the wall I had built,

sufficient magic dart from those lips;

Sudden change of season,

no warnings, no reason,

just like them...
left again in a rage of blame,

the sky has dimmed in an eclipse,

this is how romance goes up in a flame;

I'm timid with holding this heart in my own wary fingers -

At best:
I shall be thawed after a crippling winter;

I was ready to give it my all -

my all.

You... were just like them all.
