Fall and Winter

I spent fall with you

And fell into your frigid winter embrace

 

We went trick-or-treating in the dark

And we took walks in the park

But in the end

You were colder than winter

And you froze my heart

 

We loved in fall

And I gave you my all

I changed my clothes like leaves

So that I could see you pleased

But my warmth was never enough

To melt your frosty heart

 

I needed you there

But you never cared

You were colder than winter

I was warm like fall.

    peace is impossible

    I close the windows

    Lock the doors

    Turn off the lights

     

    I don’t ever want to leave this room.

    I am tired of drowning

    In a world

    That has never prepared me to swim.

    And I am fearful.

     

    Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,

    For I have been taught to survive 

    but never to truly live.

    Revival

    One day,

                 you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
