Short Days and Long Nights
I feel as though I have been trying to sleep for hours
Stuck, frozen; afraid to gaze over the edge
The cold, intimidating winter has left me isolated
I am entirely alone
Stuck and frozen; afraid of looking over the edge
Not wanting to go near it
I am entirely alone
Dreading what is coming’
I don’t want to go near anything
I couldn't tell you why
I am dreading what is coming
Though I’ve been looking forward to it for months
I love where I am, but I’d rather be somewhere else
What scares me is the cold, intimidating winter
And that this spiral staircase never ends
I just want to go to sleep
