The icy winds return again to chill my weary bones,

The warmth of hope fades in a winter I must spend alone.

Cold, hazy dew has frozen hard upon my window panes,

Where, not with love but pain, I carve your fading name.

​A thick mist rolled into my mind, echoing traumas of the past,

Testing my heart’s resilience, asking how long this yearning will last.

The gloom of winter hisses in my ear like a vicious serpent,

Clouding my judgment, numbing my soul, making my existence repent.

​Why I feel pale this winter—which I once loved—I have no clue,

Except that, lost without you, I am facing the winter blues!

Dedicated to my Sweetest, dearest, loveliest mommy, My Everything!!
