The Days Of The Sun Have Gone

i used to pray for the winter 
now frozen in regret 
it's been so long 
life without cold 
now no more than a dream 
the sky hangs broken overhead 
the days of the sun are gone 
the clouds not only in my mind 
failed attempts to substitute new light 
only compounding the cold 
darkness overtaking 
blood running cold / skin begins to crack 
the journey is dead 
there is no light at the end of the tunnel
