and so I've decided to
picture
life
without you

millions of days I have spent
holding onto something that
doesn't bear
your name
anymore

only a picture
in my mind
played thousands of
empty times


Do you want to know the truth?

I love you


that's it.

I suppose I have
learned a hard lesson
from your promises
and kisses

it appears that
something
beautiful
can be destroyed

and can be too far gone
to be repaired-

me and you

only shivering flesh
standing on the
frozen
January ground

being covered with
snow
falling infinitely

too fast to be
saved
from the sun...

Great poem.  The sun will break through . . .
