to somehow fit an apology out of his mouth.

No, I'll never be fooled again,
although it does look pretty and 
it marks the season,
I won't fall into its trap.

    A foggy understanding of what is to come is all that inhabits my brain.
    My skin is warmed by hot star energy and the smile pulling at the corners of my lips
