This snow spring,
The warmth seems so cold.
Can this be the real thing?
This pain that inside I hold?
Your image etched
Into every crevice of my mind.
Every night I've sketched
A picture of you to avoid going blind.
If only my loving thoughts
Could've floated like prayers to you.
In this web of lies I'm caught.
You're the only thing that seems true.
I miss everything about you my dear.
I don't know how else I can tell you this.
I just wish I wasn't cowering in fear
So that I could finally taste your kiss.
As I'm slowly drowning in the rain
Of my lost tears streaming down my cheeks,
I know better than to complain.
It's because of you that I'm no longer weak.
I go on with my life
Because I know I won't forget,
That it was you who ended my strife
And I hold no regret.

This is from prompt #1. It's a collaberation of several poems for my one of my exes who completely and utterly dumped me, but I modernized it a bit with the prompt.

How sad the narrator caught in deception designed to raise above the one loved, only to find that lies separate and divide the relationship beyond the point they could be joined again. The pain is beyond the ability to grasp the depth the injury has traveled. Reflection leaves wisdom.

'As I'm slowly drowning in the rain
Of my lost tears streaming down my cheeks,
I know better than to complain.'
