Chrysanthemums from Chrysanthemums by Lauren Sweers

It's not the odds you bet your life on
It's not the pillow you set your head on
It's not the anchor you tie your ship to
It's not the tempo you set the song to

But it's all you hear for a while
and the light seems dimmer and dimmer but it's only you
and that sparrow flies into the window
again and again and again and again and again

It's not the lullaby you fall asleep to
It's not the girl you give a ring to
It's not the hook you'd hang a frame on
It's not the line you'd sign your name on

It's not the hill you choose to die on

But it's all you know in a while
and the room seems dimmer and dimmer but it's only you
and that sparrow flies into the window
again and again and again
and then Christmas comes for a while
and the truth you remember flies in for the weekend
but quickly it's gone, and you've been cold for so long
that you're falling asleep in the snow
