Literature Text

If the dark of this season
Gathers me in its embrace,
Do not leave me here, alone,
In this forsaken place.
If the steady march of winter
Treads right over me
Bury me beneath the sand
By the silent sea.
If I am gone away from you
Please forgive what I have done;
You can’t stay mad at a broken bright
Or a setting sun.
If the lullaby of winter
Sings me right to sleep
Bury me beneath the stars
And all I have is yours to keep.
Ta da! The product of a terribly depressing winter, misery and too much vodka on a school night.

This is plain gorgeous :) I usually hate this rhyme scheme, but you really pulled it off. I want to say something else, but all I can think of is "gorgeous" again. ^^"
