Snow II

Darkness falls
The sky is white
Street light
Inside, the candle burns
Of all his troubles I learn
«Did you hear it might
Snow tonight?» he said
«Wouldn't that be a welcome respite?»
His eyes meet mine
I try to stop myself from crying
And I know my love grows
Like the silence of snow
«The night comes so soon
I always sleep the day away
I don’t leave my room
I’m safe within my womb»
And all I want is to
Hold his face in my hands
But on the pillow his head lands
And I have to understand
Still, I know my love grows
Like the silence of snow
