I’m in your worn out sweaters
And tear stained letters,
All the dark sides of the moon.
In the leaves of fall
You can hear me call
On a breezy afternoon.
I’m the taste of honey,
But someday, honey,
You’ll be tasting someone new.
And I hope you tell „oh
The girl in yellow
Let me go
And grow
And feel the west wind blow
And somehow it led me to you.“

- p. winter

Running into the arms of every shadow that
Resembles your silhouette,
I follow a bread crumb trail of empty words
Through a forest of empty fantasies.
With each step, I fall.
With each step, I learn.
With each step, I grow.
With each step, I get one heartbreak closer
To finding you.

- p. winter

The pain-dissolving peacefulness
Reflected in his spoken word,
Ensures his voice could cure me still
If only for a moment heard.

The second is his gentle touch,
Consuming all my thoughts,
That has me plucking daisy petals
Skipping all “he loves me not”s.

The third is naught but gleeful,
For I love the way he laughs.
Each day I’d make a fool of me
To hear his joy in half.

He smiles, oh heart, be still, he smiles
And so the heavens dim,
To allow the glorious glowing
And the radiance of him.

His handsome soul is ageless,
Though the moon, alas, revolves.
I pray that I grow old to see
However it evolves.

Relentless in his courage,
I will never fear to be
‘Tween the arms of such
A strong and firm protector as is he.

Unceasing is the passion
And ne’er ending is the heat
In the conversations had between
The lips that itch to meet.

Giving, giving, giving
Never asking in return.
No contest for how warm his fire
So generously burns.

And oh, how calm, how safe it is
To feel his arms entwine

Over each and every pathway
In the crevices of mine.

At last, the most admirable,

The truest since the start,
For what I love the most is this:
He loves with all his heart.

- p. winter

You will never be my other half
For I am already whole.
But I will gladly let you in
That we may be wholly in love.

- p. winter

A mess of codependency,
Anxiety and jealousy,
I pray that you remember me.

A hopeless wreck that can’t allow
Herself to get up from the ground,
Remember me as I am now.

Watch me blossom, shine, and dance,
Dream and learn of true romance,
Be a witness to this change
As my own thoughts I rearrange.

You'll hear the difference in my voice
And feel the difference in my hands,
For I will prove I made a choice
To find the one I truly am.

Remember me in tears and stress,
Remember me at all my lows,
For I will morph and soon progress.
Remember me,
And watch me grow.

- p. winter

The world continued
To force my tears
And beat me while
I was already down
But I heard your voice
And I saw your smile
And the world
Is nothing now.

- p. winter

I fear nothing more
Than feeling my love start to
Slip 'tween your fingers.
