This
        Ship
                Is
                   Sinking

Rock bottom.

May this time live
Up to your definition
Of contentment

I hope you find comfort
In what is soul-stirringly
Sentimental to you

May your heart be sate
With gratifying peace
Of the past and present

I hope you find
Beauty in the moments
That go unnoticed

May your biggest gift be
The memories that will
Forever encapsulate your soul

Merry everything
A happy always

Summertime, your love was pure
Like the sun you were not afraid to share
your warmth
Your warmth- a radiating, smouldering heat
between every sheet

Autumn came and I could see us
fall
Fall out of love.
Every leaf- a teardrop on the floor
I knew our love was no more

Winter froze my heart
For it was then when I missed you most
Like an iceberg
we drifted
far apart

Spring held promises of a new
beginning
A beginning without
you
For it was you that made me see
That I cannot love, before I start loving
ME.

I have been blind
for all my life
What disappointed me most
Is that when I opened
My eyes
To see for the first time

Your colors were dull
And my disappointment
Great.
