Winter licks at window panes
Frosting forlorn nights

Snowflakes whisper
Lonely souls
Who reach out to night

Flakes frost over
House and home
Icing quite lanes

Snow dances
Lightly down
Lulling The world to sleep

As I lay myself to bed
Monsters roam my head
Thoughts run ramped

No disregard
To morn
Slumber hides away

Heart pounds like a drum
Light will greet before
Dreams come

My aching head
My sorrowing heart
My glistening eyes

The question
Why
The answer

Silent as the new moon
Death has no voice
Life has no answers

Tic tock, tick tok
Times up
On life's clock

If I had only known

You would still be snug in your're bed

Your laughter would echo through the room

Instead of just memories

If only my words could have shaped the blades of shears

And cut you free

To live such a lonely life

The mask upon your face done up too well

Doubts plague my thoughts and poison my heart

I wish you wrote

How was I supposed

How you could do this, I will never know

I would have liked to say

I Need to say

Goodbye

When we realize that beauty is not skin deep

That pain goes far beyond cuts and bruises

That there are other ways to see the world besides just with our eyes

That trust is the hardest thing to give and break

That" love " is not just a word, but a way to live

That in order to heal another, we must first heal

We can finally begin to understand ourselves

I was happy
I even laughed
Made memories
With my minds eye

I felt love
I saw beauty
I felt relief

Started with a subtle
Increased beat
Then the waves came again
The heaving of my chest
The flow of my tears
The haunting images

You followed me
When I was starting to feel
Again

You should have packed
A suite case too
and taken your own
Vacation
Away from
Me
