Wintery Night

Wintery night... heartbeats ago
Solemn tears crept o'er my cheeks
Whilst I sat... by the piano

Before me she stood... her eyes shone of life
N'er had I witnessed a more endearing smile
As the one she'd given me... on this wintery night

Accepted and treasured... had I done with this gift:

(D)esire grasped at my heart as she seated beside me
(I)f but a moment passed by when... I realized she'd left
(A)gony blazed in a fiery... hell of reality
(N)o mere mortal should bare a more tormenting fate
(A)s the one I lived through... on this wintery night

Far did I search in a... maddening haste
My cry of her name went unanswered
In dark I stood with... hands drawn to side

Wintery night... heartbeats ago
Solemn tears crept o'er my cheeks
Whilst I sat an waited... by the piano
