Poetry: On a cold winter night

by Hanna Joseff

Created on: July 18, 2011

On a cold winter night like this

Where the sun shies away into somewhere

You've taken my spirit away

Reading the letter which you wrote

Prior to our separation

Breaking my heart into two


Leaving me to fend this alone

Deep into the cold winter night

I read your words of despair

Boredom, wanting to leave me for a more exciting life

Out there, into nowhere, the clouds form for you

Your life isn't here with me, these words of break up

Is totally foreign to me


On a cold winter night like those years

Where you promised words of love

And wisdom to me, so where had they gone to


Washed into the drain, to be driven away

I hope for a rewind, unfortunately life is not like that

Wishing for a recap of our love, but you have uttered those words

The words which I'm reading right now, wanting to break away from this life


On a cold winter night like tonight

I read the words you've written

Let the candle burning be the witness

Of my broken heart as it burns away the words
