A link to link was slowly clinging
I was beginning to submerse
I fell in love and kept on falling
The time was crawling in reverse
The fall has blessed me with a curse
It planted verses in my chest
My soul—enthralled began to sink
I was obsessed and couldn’t think
Not knowing what the day might bring
I welcomed winter...
Without a rest, I swayed and lingered,
While being banded to my nest
I saw a road, and yet I hindered
Anticipating in a worry
The blurry figure of the spring

I don't know if my interpretation is right, but if it is, I can relate very well. A person has so much to deal with, so (s)he welcomes the cold numbness (winter). (S)he stays in the winter so long, (s)he becomes fearful of feelings (spring)

I really liked this one....good work.

Thanks everyone! SysD, your interpretation was nearly perfect. Actually it was about a person who felt in love with the fall (could be a metaphor for almost anything). The fall became his/her home (her nest) and now the person faces winter and the desicion whether to choose the road for warmer weather or the nest and face winter... And all while waiting for the spring!
