frost that still bites

I haven't listened to that song 

since the night you sang it to me.

I don't think about Texas 

or wonder what you're thinking.

I won't go back to the place we met 

and reminisce about your eyes.

Because the look in your eyes

was never love or adoration, 

but a beautiful mask 

to disguise your beautiful lies.

I tore the pictures off the walls 

and split them all in two...

Just like you did to my heart 

when I found out I was one of few.

I stopped driving up the mountain 

and praying you would change,

I still can't go inside that building 

without it echoing your name.

And now all the winter does is remind me of

the shivers you sent down my spine 

when you convinced me this was love...

I could see your every breath
but I was too blind to see the truth.

You said words that I thought you meant,
but I guess that shows my youth.
When you wrapped me in your arms that night
I felt all fears of love depart,

But now the memory of the bitter cold

only leaves me with a bitter heart.
