the air outside getting chilly
nippy air around the bend
it’s coming
but to embrace it, I’m unwilling

along with its bitterness, comes darkness
it’s on the way
and there’s nothing to do to postpone its arrival
it’s here to stay

my surroundings following alongside the atmosphere
winter settling in,
summer has packed itself up and away,
at the thought of that I shed a tear

the evil air outside
mirroring the way I feel inside

gone are warm and welcoming times
gone...
