Lonely December

You came to me in my life's winter,
A warm wind
To melt the snows of my pain.
I welcomed the warmth,
But my December heart
Drove you away from me.

Again I grew cold,
Again you came
Again my wintery heart
It drove you away.

But this time it kept the Warmth.

And gradually the winter passed
Until when you came next
In my heart summer was in bloom.

But my heart would not let it go -
A more fuller, brighter summer it yearned for;
Until my summer heart
It drove you away.

And now you are gone
And the summer with you,
And a cold wind now blows,
And it bears on it only pain.
