Remember December For Past Ironies
She can see her breath once again
She can feel the air stroking her skin
Infinite dots forming, lips are chapped
Another Winter will begin

December crashed onto the wet pavements
It's been almost a year now
The pain rushes back, the memories bold
Perplexing, she doesn't understand how

She's stronger, and there's chocolate left
But disbelief and anxiety remain in the mind
Like the autumn leaves falling, she's feeling cluttered
But in the pile, there's so many moments she'll find

She's forgotten about the war
But the army boy comes back
The bombings and the gunshots are heard once more
She's engaging in attack

It's 1984, there's no one to trust
The allies have become spies
She's thrusted into a battlefield of remembrance
There's orders to comply

The air still sweet
The sun still shines
She's laughing laughs
of different kinds

Feeling everything, every emotion
Abused, used and bruised
cheerful, joyous and delighted
Melancholy, hopeless, faithful, and confused

She's driving in the car
The street lights are blurred
Her eyes leave thin painted streaks of black and blue
She's drowning her ears in meaningless words

She crashes, but she flies
She's honest, but she lies
She's living, but she dies
She laughs, but she cries

It's another ironic winter
Leading to an unexpected new year
Twists and turns, both painful and pleasure
The next steps both hazy and clear

Irony is love, love is irony
It's just another December
Elating, animating
Love and thoughts, she will always remember
