winter tree

it's cold
inside me, it's cold
minus zero or even more
shivers run up and down through me
I tremble
I shed my own skin

it's always winter, with or without snow
always holding on by a thread

all the leaves have fallen
i'm holding on by a thread

naked
exposed
i'm not much more

all the leaves are in the ground
i'm on the ground
watching how i'm still falling
even though there's no more room to fall

moving with the wind
I don't have any control
there are four seasons
i'm always in winter

all these lights?
it's still dark inside

christmas around the corner
it doesn't feel any warmer

hope is holding on strongly
waiting for the old me
waiting for summer
to get rid of the cold
waiting to know
if i'll ever grow?
