SEASONS OF TEARS


you cry on me
like hot summer sun
and the trees, like me,
still continue
to take the love
burning love
like your fire love

and you cry on me
like golden autumn leaves
and i, like the dying grass,
still continue
to bear your weight
yet you'll crush me in time
along with your
killing frost

and you cry on me
like cold winter rain
while the birds, like me,
still continue
to peck upon the crumbs
so rightfully theirs
so rightfully mine

and you've cried on me
for so long; i've been foolish
but i don't mind, i just
keep on going
so call me the wind now
for there's nothing left
in springtime.
