Winter arrived with barely a warning,
Bleaching the yellows and browns with stark fingers.
I spent weeks watching the endless azure,
But my eyes were empty,
And it was grey in comparison to yours.
As day burned to dusk
I witnessed the icy comets,
And saw why the sun had not touched them.
When the rains came,
I welcomed the freezing droplets on my skin.
Gazing skyward, into the bitter wind,
Each sting of numbness was sweeter than the last.
Author notes
i was addicted to a certain someone some time ago...
it killed me when they left,
and i went through all hell to get over them.
sort of in correlation with a previously written poem "Anamnesis",
if you ever have time to look.

look up the meanings of the titles if you are not familiar with the terms.

This is a terrific.
My favorite part:
"I spent weeks watching the endless azure,
But my eyes were empty,
And it was grey in comparison to yours."
Beautiful words used to describe a complicated subject: my favorite type of writing.
