dear December,
I know we
never understood each other
quite the way we should
although we spent
the time it took.
please watch over the buried
in your sallow snow fields
I lost myself there
along with smiles
my face was never suppose to make
I'm not sure
the indent I left
will soon be replaced
by tender new skin.
december,
i know we will never quite heal
the way we'd like
so please
let this memory lay
along the side of the road
to be scattered by the crows
let the bones bleach
in the fresh spring sun
dear december
I never meant to cause.
