Third Edit: strange goodbye/long goodbye

[nibbed]

a light left on for someone                -I didn't like the line formation here. I wanted to see a light on its own
who'll never arrive
windows frosted
door about to close
only the wind knocks
darkness watches
snow silent as loneliness                     -here, too. snow, on its own.



Reading through the edits
I felt the speaker conveyed regret,
but this last edit cleaned it up, nicely.
Darkness watching is spooky.
