Mud mingling with snow mingling with dirt,

the remnants of red nail polish from 

Valentine's Day,

how has it lasted so long? 

The sun a hot fiery ball over the cloud-speckled horizon,

you like it don't you? 

you like how it makes you feel to be loved

you like the gifts it gives you

and the glow in her eyes when she sees you

you like it don't you?

you like to be loved

the cliff turned into sky

and the clouds to dreams

whose silken threads touched me

It's finally what I've waited for,

Right in front of me. 

Given in my hands like a trophy,

Congratulating my painful struggles. 

I thought it would be better,
