The Time After Winter
You've been gone for almost a year
in the time after winter
Longing and knowing are one in the same
Yet two different creatures
Remembrance is survival
Remembrance is my savior
Time spent remembering is lost
and yet that's how I'll continue to spend my time
What if I forget? Should I? Could I?
Forget the time after winter
Many lost, many found, too many
One purpose fans one flame
in the time after winter
Lost there, for us to remember
It's a cold and bitter place
This time after winter
Stranger I will give you a warning
Just one warning will do
Don't be tempted by this place
Or it might just take you too
This cold and bitter place
might just take claim of you
This is a poem I wrote about someone who was close to me that commited suicide..... it has a lot of meaning to me and it's pretty raw. What do you think?
