Behind closed doors

Winter stands on the horizon
Revelling in heavy winds
Haunting me with ghosts I left behind
Extinguishing the flame
That once warmed my heart

It brings you back
Into my arms
It casts your shadow
In rooms that kept me safe

Your presence is unwelcome
Yet the cold is determined

And as the days move on
With winds that turn my lips blue
Im pulled back to you
In an undertow of lost memories
You have no idea the emotions that overcome me,
As I am pulled unwillingly
Through a door that I left open
And the child like fear
That keeps a vacant room so cold
So open and so full of screaming shadows
