Patient Hope In New Snow

The heat comes in distant shifts to fill up my room It spills out of these ancient vents to meet the new cold And I lay in my twisted sheets and stare out at the snow Still thinking of the next few months, my cold and lifeless eyes I've never felt so separate And then there's you but that's so obvious It's hopeless and I know this, that's why I can't dream No desire or circumstance would keep this from me One by one, to department stores We walk through the aisles In a forest of designer clothes, you touch me and smile And for a moment I could want nothing Your bright eyes burn through my exploding heart And we stand as the shoppers pass us And for once I can feel a touch complete And I need to just be near you and fill these empty eyes But you start turning as resistance pulls you from my cold and boring life Let's make this easy and let time pass, as devotion dies The list goes on and on I have waited and I will be waiting for the pain to cure the fear
