(A/N) Hi everybody! This is my first songfic to "Winter Winds" by Mumford and Sons (awesome band- listen to some of their songs!) I do not own this song, or the Infernal Devices.

Winter Winds (Tessa POV)

As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts

I remember when I was being kept at the Dark Sister's house. I didn't see anyone except Miranda, and the Dark Sisters. I had no one to talk to, to joke with, or to love. I was the epitome of lonely.

Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

Then you came, Will. You saved me. I was immediately spellbound by your beautiful face, your eyes, like blue glass, and your quirky smile.

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?

Looking back, I'm not sure if I was really drawn to you because I loved you, or if I was drawn to you because I was desperate for love after months of isolation and my head convinced my heart that I loved you.

For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

But when you kissed me I forgot all my uncertainties. I was convinced that you were the one.

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

After what you did to me on the roof I don't know if you love me or not. I know that I don't love you, however much I want to. My head tells me to forgive you, that I will love you again if I give it time. But my heart can't learn what it doesn't believe.

We'll be washed and buried one day my God

One day you'll be gone, and be a distant memory for me. All you'll be is a name on a rock, or in a book.

And the time we were given will be left for the world
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
So let the memories be good for those who stay

All that we did, all the time we spent together will be forgottenby all who come after you. I want to remember you fondly, but I don't know if that will happen.

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"
Yes, my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

I thought I could learn to love you. But I can't.

Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
Was the same that sent me into your arms

Nate was like a god to me. I loved him with my entire heart and he betrayed me. I needed someone to believe in, and I chose you.

Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
And no hope, no hope will overcome

It's inevitable that one day you will die, and I will not. I can't change that. You will be gone forever one day.

And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends

I have to leave. I can't stay around you with my head loving you, but my heart loathing you. If I leave you won't be sad forever. Some girl will come along, and you will love her. She will love you and you will be happy.

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

I have to leave. I'm sorry Will, this time, no.

Cheesy? Overly dramatic? Slightly good? Epic failure? I'll never know if you don't review!

PS. Here is the link to the music video for all you lazy people of the world.
