Midwinter

I was thinking about my older brother, who is not alive, when I originally wrote this, but at the same time I was thinking about someone who might have lost their beloved for whatever reason and is feeling left alone by everyone else around her. Interpret it however you wish.

On a cold midwinter’s night
Without my love by my side
I travel through the darkness
All my pain seeps from my bones
I’m in this house but not at home
Still I know I’m all alone, in this

They don’t know me
Like you know my heart
They don’t see
They can’t love me
Like you loved my heart
They ripped me apart

On a cold midwinter’s night
Without my love by my side
I can’t see the path at my feet
It’s so cold in this cruel world
I feel like a little girl
Standing in the spotlight

They don’t know me
Like you know my heart
They don’t see
They can’t love me
Like you loved my heart
They ripped me apart

It seems so awkward
Talking to this stone
But I need you to know
This is the only place, I don’t feel alone

They don’t know me
Like you know my heart
They don’t see
They can’t love me
Like you loved my heart
They ripped me apart
They don’t see me
Like a porcelain doll
So fragile
You’re the only one that ever knew
So I’m blaming on you
