PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Enveloped in a snow covered world

Today I scan the tiny black tree tips for a lingering leaf

To wonder if it trembles as hard as me.

In a futile forced attempt at self-soothing

I cram my skull with songs I once adored.

Now a heaving reminder of a far away face I need to bury.

The majestic beauty surrounding me only stabs my fingers as I reach for it

Even with just my eyes.

Cold and lonely, like my bed.

Empty as your expression the day you didn't care I left.

A deep and sickening resentment pours into every word I write

When you crash every subject I try to change.

A living ghost across my skin

Even as the bruises fade,

My scars are forever yours.
