I prepare myself as a bear would Eat my loneliness Hunker down from the ruthless cold All because you've left Again My soul goes into hibernation There's not as much laughter Not as much joy You return with the spring With new promises And false hope Of course I'm aware That your stay is merely temporary The salt packets you hide for me To find in your absence Can only do so much For so long Before I need to find shelter From the familiar coldness you Leave in your wake |
