It was a long cold winter
Without you babe
I was to be with child
Growing in body and in love,
Anticipation
But September took you away
And
October, November, December
Felt like a maze of
Purposeless actions
Of everything from my childhood
Of hope and happiness
Fell away
And nothing remained but my broken body
And every darkness and frailty the world and my heart can give, became
Commonplace
January, February, March
Cold and useless
And it's out of control
Baby announcements came
And fat babies graced everyone around me but not me
September lost you with the leaves
And April hangs over me now
A day till this month with so much promise could've been
The birth of the only hope my womb ever gave me
But you were gone in September
And I'm still here
Unsure of how to go on and
Regain hope and faith
It was a long cold winter
Without you babe
But springtime
Is just as cold
Without you.
Without you babe
I was to be with child
Growing in body and in love,
Anticipation
But September took you away
And
October, November, December
Felt like a maze of
Purposeless actions
Of everything from my childhood
Of hope and happiness
Fell away
And nothing remained but my broken body
And every darkness and frailty the world and my heart can give, became
Commonplace
January, February, March
Cold and useless
And it's out of control
Baby announcements came
And fat babies graced everyone around me but not me
September lost you with the leaves
And April hangs over me now
A day till this month with so much promise could've been
The birth of the only hope my womb ever gave me
But you were gone in September
And I'm still here
Unsure of how to go on and
Regain hope and faith
It was a long cold winter
Without you babe
But springtime
Is just as cold
Without you.
