Written on 12/16/06 <br /> <br />you walk through the walls of my heart <br />in past lives they’ve been shallow and cold <br />you told my pain and my guilt to part <br />leaving me with a hand to hold <br />my core doesn’t shiver from being empty anymore <br />my laugh doesn’t seem so thin <br />because of you <br />I get into <br />my December skin <br /> <br />you told me something, you told me truth <br />so is it just supposed to be <br />it was the opposite of what I believed to be proof <br />that there was no good in me <br />I changed my mind so often then <br />I’d hate to be back where I’ve been <br />but now that’s through <br />I’m lying next to you <br />in my December skin <br /> <br />no words that I could speak <br />would you understand <br />to mean the good that has come out of <br />something so unplanned <br /> <br />will I always be so absorbed in this <br />you gave me comfort like I’ve never known <br />thank you for the endless happiness <br />and the love only you could’ve shown <br />these letters and sounds try to tell our story <br />I don’t even know where to begin <br />but you’re by my side <br />for now I reside <br />in my December skin <br /> <br />inside this glass frame is a perfect image <br />it takes away so much of my fear <br />you and I, we built this bridge <br />to get across this difficult year <br />it’s so sad we have so little time <br />and so many battles to win <br />I’ll enjoy what we own <br />and forget the unknown <br />in my December skin <br /> <br />no words that I could speak <br />would you understand <br />to mean the good that has come out of <br />something so unplanned <br /> <br />in a day with no hurt and a day with no tears <br />here’s the one thing I know is true <br />a hundred, a thousand, a million years <br />isn’t long enough to love you <br />but still, I’ll love you<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/december-skin/
