"Bitter Winter" - A love letter from Seasonal Affective Disorder

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

 

Bitter winter, we meet again.                                                    
Your unforgiving touch sweeps across my lips
as you sigh a frosty sigh.                                                                                                                    

Bitter winter, you had me sane              
while your presence pierced my existence
and stripped me of my soul.          

Bitter winter, the darker days                                                                                                      
mean darker thoughts                                                                                                        
and darker dreams.                                                                                                                                                     
Frozen in the hands of time,                                                                                      
ending and mercy
both linger,                                                                                               
unseen.

Bitter winter, your melancholy
drapes over me                                                                                                                                   
grazing every inch of my skin.                                                     
Splintered in your fingers
lays innocence
lays sin.
