She looks out the window
the color leaves her angelic face
Memories flood her mind
He said they'll be together; forever

The color leaves her angelic face
She remembers the first meeting
He said they'll be together; forever
She feels alone and empty

She remembers the first meeting
Tears pour from her blue eyes
She feels alone and empty
He has taken away her warmth

Tears pour from her blue eyes
The Ring lays on the table
He has taken away her warmth
She sees his fugure in the snow

The Ring lays on the table
She is on her bed;alone
She sees his figure in the snow
Her bed offers no more warmth

She is on her bed; alone
His figure is clouded by the falling snow
Her bed offers no more warmth
He is gone

His figure is clouded by the snow
Memories flood her mind
He is gone
She looks out the window.

I found this poem interesting..it started strong and then seemed to drift away..echoing the loss of love...

I liked the repetition in it too, and the image of the blue eyes crying sticks in my mind..the ring on the table

Great poem  

 "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two
bodies."
-Aristotle

Interesting format, almost a Pantonum, but yet not quite...I like...nicely done. Welcome to Passions

very nicely done, indeed.   and, if I remember from when I first learned about them, this is exactly the form of a pantoum, with the one tiny exception of the "falling snow" line not being repeated exactly.  a fun form, but one I have a devil of a time playing with.  thanks for sharing.
