season’s fool

I have become the season’s fool Who dared to dance upon the snow Just to see the joy of footprints Before the pending storm I lost my way looking up The misdirection of a bitter night Little pieces of my flesh consumed Grown cold to my soul within There is no season now I am frost before the spring Bitter to the sun in which my core Will poison from the blaze I survive a stunted shell Unforgived to each darkened night Afraid of the bellowing wind Undone around my bleeding heart
