My head in my hands, <br />Your name on my lips <br /> <br />And the icy winter wind <br />Freezes my tears <br /> <br />Crystalline spheres of grief <br />Shatter like frosted diamonds <br />Upon the stone which bears your name <br /> <br />I speak to you: <br />I miss you <br />I love you <br />I beg for your forgiveness <br /> <br />I offer a prayer <br />A whimper <br />A sob <br />A scream <br /> <br />I wipe my eyes <br />Again and again <br /> <br />I stand. Slowly, achingly <br />I Turn my back against the pain <br />I make my way <br />Through the freshly fallen snow <br />Away from this lonely place, yet <br />Never far from you <br /> <br />© 2007 Raymond J Wright<br /><br />Raymond J Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/john-5/
