last winter the sky fell
and you were sitting in the snow
making angels and forgetting
[like you always do]
that i loved you more than i should
for your seldom polite vocabulary
and the purple secrets in your vacant eyes
for the weight of your slaughtered sense of wonder
on all of us.
you were debating whether or not to leave
i was lost and abandoned, somnolent but sad
demanding songs from raspy florescent lighting
and babbling some broken gospel
that only midnight understands.
that was the last time i cried for you
and my very veins ached for you
because tears can be thicker than blood.
i told you this went deeper
than rusty impulses and crooked religion
as you turned to walk away from
what winter has done to me.
[i always loved winter]
now your nightmares worsen
with the melting of glaciers
i know we will meet again
at the airport or in purgatory
the clock throbs for all our wasted hours
the percussion of souls crashed and separated
you taught me with your leaving to say
go if you must, save yourself from the chill
that battered hearts know so well
god only knows
it was the winter in you that killed me.

in the end it's not just you with your memories and your scars, fall on me if you ever forget how beautiful you are.

================================

there are so many impressive images and personifis in this...
you write from places deeper than most muses allow...your pen bleeds the words into the threads of the paper...

and babbling some broken gospel
that only midnight understands.
that was the last time i cried for you
and my very veins ached for you
because tears can be thicker than blood.
i told you this went deeper
than rusty impulses and crooked religion

very impressive expression here..
always something to learn from reading you.
