Winter's Kiss

Winter’s Kiss By Kevin Robey September 30, 2013 The sun will fall earlier each day Farther away as if it were to say Memories fall down like the leaves Darkness surrounds, smothering me The suicide summer comes to an end I made it through with wounds to mend The window will close on sunrise dreams Smiles will hide underneath barren trees No answers to the questions I’ve found Fake smiles drowning without a sound Can’t dismiss the dark abyss anymore It shows in the truths that wash to shore This isn’t the fire, this isn’t the pain Don’t worry about me going insane The darkness of winter’s ice-cold kiss Reminds me of you and all that I miss Writing the next chapter of a worn-out book I flip through memories of smiles that I took Through haunting days in cold winter storms I found a safe place where my heart was still warm Retreating to the last sunset off the beach in my mind I stare straight at the sun knowing I’ll never go blind
