ceased seasons these

treat this heart
as if it were your
love for me...

...and if you
were to consider
all that i am~

even my presence

lost
behind walls

night~
the silence

the standing
the height~

stillness

my face

created by the beats

behind

the deterioration

that this

slow death

now brings

with it

it is that love

that heart~

the treatment

of it

even as I draw

you near

now

know

the dying

it is not

stealth

enough

to know of things~

the

ceased

seasons

these

bring.

There isn't much to say here because, frankly, words have escaped me. Sometimes it's nice to just bask in the poem, and I'm doing that now.

This was good, but the background gave me a headache. I get those alot, but color chanegs might help.

I liked the last part alot.....the last four words.
