I no longer know why I'm here <br />My reason long ago, perished with my hope <br />Maybe it's out of habit, <br />That I linger in this spot <br />Where the scent of you, still strong <br /> <br />I no longer know why I'm dying <br />My reasons long ago, perished with my cure <br />Hiding beneath my veil of superficial emotions <br />Where I can hide the scars that mutilate my body <br />Where I may act like I am unscathed <br />Where the vertigo isn't making me feel <br />Like jumping would end the pain <br /> <br />I no longer know why you're listening <br />I've spent too long in winter <br />No warmth will thaw this frozen heart <br />A tortured soul, lingering in purgatory <br />Across the wastelands I glide <br />An invalid longing for heaven<br /><br />Raven Keller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-in-winter/
