Ebony Goodbyes I laid my aching heart upon your grave that February day when trees were bare of life; their withered leaves fell down to brave the frozen veins and blood of lifeless ground with you, while stillness reigned without a sound except the moaning of my heart's despair... my last goodbyes to you, dear Dad, I gave.

The way this entire poem is one sentence really captures how this is just an outpouring of emotion. That and the impeccable flow of this make it a very worthy winner. I utterly, utterly enjoyed this.
