Wanted

A slowing winter storm

Quiet on the frozen empty boughs

You were always asking me for warmth

And I was always running

But you would never go

Golden hazel flower in the snow

Staying up for hours in the still

Just to hear me breathing

So how could I

Just cast you to the water

An icy tide

When you were all I wanted

Patiently to spring

Waiting for my heart to turn to green

I could never promise anything

Even though I wanted

Wanted

How do I

Just let the barren blossom

And override

When you were all I wanted

Wanted
