Baby it’s cold in Winnipeg

I hate when he does that.
Waiting on the weekends
I hate winters in Winnipeg
While he is working on his waiting.

I fear the cold
The cold winters in Winnipeg.
I fear, that he is waiting in the dark
I fear the future winters in Winnipeg.

At night, I think of him (you)
I fear the lyrics of waiting
At noon in the cold winters of Winnipeg
I hate my fear of you
The walking dead.

At night I think of you (him)
I fear his cold eyes
I hate his waiting
I hate how he knows.

A cold noon in Winnipeg
Winter is waiting
Walking towards the dark
Walking toward the dead
Lyrics of waiting
I still fear them.

I fear his eyes
The cold is waiting
I fear my dead
The dead winter in Winnipeg

I fear his body being too close to mine
My eyes are cold
Feeling hot like hell
It is a dead day in Winnipeg
But it is not mine.

Noon turns into Night
Winter comes and goes
It is a cold dead day
A cold dead future
Here in Winnipeg.

I walk towards the cold
I walk towards nothing
I walk away from the dead
Being his (your) walking dead.

You (he)
Faces the eternal winter
Endless cold
Waiting forever
In Winnipeg.

My name is Lucienne. I am a bit of a lost soul and more than once I tried to hide that. But now I am embracing who I am. Confused, struggling with mental health issues, lost, happy, funny, hopeful, optimistic, sad, loud, quiet, open, curious - I am more than one thing and with whatever I am doing, I try to let my creativity and spirit shine.

I am very excited to get to know this world and what a magical feeling whenever someone feels the same about me.
