Winter
December 23, 2015
Winter had dawned-
when we were both too busy.
Ice had formed-
without us even knowing.
I sit alone and wonder...
How had winter come so fast?
Oh, I wish spring came and melted
these tall boulders of ice!
A few tears escape my eyes,
but they too turn cold and hard.
So I just go on,
and pretend all is fine.

I wrote this poem for english class when I was a freshie last year, but I'm submitting it now because I just randomly thought of it. Yes, I know that it doesn't sound like a poem that a ninth grader would write because I tried to focus on the cold reality of the pain that lovers feel when they break up. I've never gone through a breakup. Rather, I put myself in a lover's shoes and tried to vicariously feel what they might after break ups. This fact might take a little away from the poem, but despite it, I hope that some people would identify with what I wrote.
