This is a song about FAWM being almost over and about the strange interpersonal struggles that were going on parallel to it. Its probably the best thing I've written, even in it's simplicity. Guitar and voice, all you need sometimes.
Take care of yourself
Sounds so final on your tongue
Forgetting how to do so
Had naturally begun
On the second day of May
I did what I must
Hispania was waiting for me
Under snow and dust
But when February Ends
Will it all go back again?
The snows already fadin'
There are road signs being painted
When February ends
When February ends
When February ends
Will I?
You were gone but not forgotten
By a jury of your peers
Left to take account of
consequences of your fears
On the 26 you'll reach
another trip around
Persephone will come
From Hades frozen ground
But when February ends
Will it all go back again?
A familiar kind of sameness
A break from the derangement
When February ends
When February ends
When February ends
Will you?
Poetry is unbecoming
Uninspiring in the cruelest way
Trying like a dummy
Hoping to get through this goolish game
Of breathing in and out
Not Believing all her doubts
Saying that all we have is now
And not a moment more
There is no indication
Of how you're supposed live
You cannot write a rule book
Of best practices
On the 14th of December
I was made just as I am
Ithaca was calling
As I crashed onto the sand
But when February end
Will it all go back again?
Will I refuse my softness?
Will we have to cut our losses?
When February ends
When February ends
When February ends
Will we?
When February ends
When February ends
When February ends
We'll see

Makes me tear up. Every. Damn. Time.

Why did nobody listen?! These lyrics are great, good bridge and the chorus is catchy. I can this imagine being a full band production.
Maybe it's worth tagging your songs with genre.
