My Winter

by Truest Lies   Jun 30, 2006


When the pieces come together,
Just to fall apart,
And I hate this puzzle,
In fact have hated it from the start,
So I look up into the sky,
And I wonder at the empty space,
But I know deep inside,
That I am not alone,
I know, deep inside,
That I'm not the only one.

Sometimes there are tears,
And sometimes laughs,
Sometimes there is a maze,
Other times clear-cut paths.
How am I to decide,
What I want to be?
Does anyone know me enough,
To be able to decide for me?

How do I decide,
To let my loved ones go,
Even if I know,
They may be the last to ever return my affections.
How can I stop them from leaving,
If they want to go,
How in the world do I hold a ghost down,
And when they vanish I am left alone in the snow.

The rain bears down,
On my empty hands,
How in the world do I describe this hollow,
What words explain eternal pain,
What poetry tells my story?

How do I find a comforting flame,
to keep me warm through my winter.

    WoW. This was definitely a different kind of poem ;; I don`t believe I`ve ever read one quite like this. But, that`s a good thing, because I loved it. The flow, for one, was perfect. I couldn`t figure out the rhyming pattern, if there was one, but what did rhyme seemed good too. =D
    Much thanks for your comment on my poems ;; meant a lot. I actually rewrote that song last night as a duet ;; but I`m not sure if I`ll post it on P&Q.
    5/5

    Wow. That was amazing. I really liked the metaphors and that I could relate to the poem. It's really incredible how you can almost feel the lonliness and longing just from reading the poem. Great Job, really great.

    OMG, wow! I'm speechless, that was so beautiful! So beautiful and sad, and related to me! I could feel the coldness through the words, the sense of lonliness and the longings. Excellent poem! I loved the metaphors and imagery! Keep up your great work! 5/5

    Great job. Good use of metaphors. I thought this was very well done and easy for me to relate to. The feeling of always being alone and left out in the cold suffering.
