Under my duvet
As the deluge rages on
Despite this, I'm hearing
The call of little birds along
The line of trees
Tapping my window
In a dawn chorus
But I don't think I'm awakening
It's like my thoughts are sinking
Into my chest as I feel the guilt
Think that I will hold on
Just hold on
Just for now
I think I still love you
I miss the bedwarmth you bring to me
This room is the winter
And our bodies are frozen harbours
I hope you set navies
Coursing down my ice-blue veins
I've tried everything
The birds and the spring do nothing
It's like the room is smiling
All blissful in its ignorance
Think that I will hold on
Just hold on
Just for now
