My Life this winter <br />has been more still then the lake <br />that teases me with its ability <br />to grant other forms of life with sanity <br />but no, none for me <br /> <br />no gentle touch <br />or ocean spray <br />that I miss so much <br />since you've gone your way <br />this winter cold nips at my extremities <br />and caused the ocean surface to freeze <br /> <br />my solitary heart is unable to <br />sustain the love we built <br />the life we made <br />the love we slaved <br />couldn't prevent the roof from the cave <br /> <br />Jack Frost has trapped Father Time <br />granted my heart eternal winter <br />forcing upon me a life not my own <br />a home thats not our home <br /> <br />The snow blankets my sight <br />steals from me the mysteries of star light <br />friends telling me its alright <br />still I drowned in an ocean of my own tears <br />night after night <br /> <br />Life is just not worth living <br />when winter is all you know <br />and all you know, is that I need you to show <br />me a glimmer of what life was <br />before you let go <br /> <br />this block of ice that I call my heart is all I have <br />set adrift on oceans path <br />no life for me will ever be the same <br />my purgatory endless winter forever pain<br /><br />Daryl Hennix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/since-you-left-2/
