Blizzard

I drove in a blizzard for you

Four hours stretched into ten 

Knuckles white

Legs numb

I’d be stranded if I stopped at all

I drove in a blizzard for you

But even if the skies were clear

You wouldn’t make the effort 

Leaving it all up to me

I drove in a blizzard for you 

And I was offered no shelter

No sympathy 

No “text me when you get home safe”

I drove through a blizzard for you

Only to get used by you 

Disguised as romance

For your own agenda 

I drove through a blizzard for you

And you're surprised that I am icy 

A hint you won’t take

As you continue to drive a pick through my chest

There was a time I would drive through a blizzard for you

My headlights cutting through the violent swirls of falling snow

Giddy from your attention

When it came to you and me, it was come hell or highwater

So now that everything thawed and I’m in the ninth circle

I will never drive through a blizzard for you again
