Winter, Come
Oh no…
 I wanna be buried in snow,
 (like, in the microphones song, I guess)
 I’ll feel the axis slow
 till it’s only vast white and 
 halloweyed ole’ me.
 
 Winter,
 won’t ya come,
 bringing an end 
 to all the earth’s
 tedious and messy history?
 
 I just wanna feel the heat 
 flee from me.
 All blood’ll freeze,
 in my clunky, colorful arteries,
 so I can't move or think and
 the worry and responsibility will leave.
 
 Please,
 Let me be buried alone,
 under the flat of the earth,
 where noone can touch 
 or look at me.
 
 You know I love 
 the green trees,
 warmth of the breeze,
 and all other peachy, purty things,
 till 
 one day I don't 
 and the unending shuffle past my eyes 
 tortures and pokes, so I believe
 everything’s just on a falsely sanguine
 march to die.
 
 Well today’s the day I don’t
 (feel all the peachy love, I mean)
 and the warm air and
 domesticated deer chompin on apples
 are sickening me,
 cause they seem so different
 from my cold and empty self and
 my sunkencheeks.
 
 So, Winter come,
 (you’re the only thing in which I believe)
 just let,
 the branches go bare,
 so the me and the earth
 are one of the same,
 just a couple’a
 big old buds.
 
 How could’ve I ever wished,
 the fullness of the world to stay?
 It doesn’t
 and even hope of it
 eventually floats away.
 
 Now,
 leaves’re
 fallin far from me,
 thankfully.
 I don’t want to see them 
 live or decay,
 I don't even wanna see
 tired young-ole’ me.
 
 So… 
 Winter,
 be here soon.
 The snow will slow me so low,
 I won’t even see 
 the white of my breath.
 Only icicles,
 freezing 
 on my ceaseless, wary chest.
