"Winters doesn't last forever", they said
"It'll all be better when you wake up, I promise", he said
She smiled and closed her eyes
The next morning when she woke up everything was the same,

The same messy room, with clothes scattered all around,
The same old classic rock playing around,
Except the light in his forest green eyes,
They had faded away as he lay on the ground stone cold,

Her walls crumbled down, she felt herself choke,
Like her wounded heart, the beautiful dream broke,
She clenched her eyes hoping the nightmare would end,
She clasped him in her arms and wished it all to end,

Every morning she would wake up hoping to see his beautiful face,
To hear his mesmerising voice, to feel his embrace,
But like him everything else faded away,
Walking around the same spots brought back the moments they spent together,

Every night she prayed, she wished to feel better,
She had been lost for so long she forgot she could be found,
She lost everything she had but yet she held on,
She was broken but she stayed strong,

She wasn't blissful but she smiled,
She did everything but never stopped fighting,
When the walls were caving in she tried hold them back,
For she had promised to always hold on.
