This poem was influenced by the ever coming and going people in my life. In my experience, it is as if souls come and go through a revolving door, leaving whenever they please. This takes a heavy toll on my heart; however, I have to remind myself that the higher power will place people in my presence as he sees fit, and they will leave when they are done serving a purpose for me. Even if you don’t believe in a higher power, you must believe in the universe and the karma that comes with her.
Something about the winter makes people cold
and I don’t mean this in the literal sense but rather figuratively
It’s like the atmosphere somehow seeps into the pores of their skin
and infects their hearts
it gets into their brain
and it makes them forget
or maybe it just bring them to their own revelations
it brings out their true colors
something about the new year that accompanies the winter makes people want to change
as if they could improve
forget the old
the ghosts of their past
the funny thing is, I never thought I would be a ghost
I don’t know what happened,
but then again, I guess it doesn’t really matter, does it
because at the end of the day
it takes two to make a relationship work
and I can’t break my back to fix something that was never broken
but that’s the worst kind of loss, isn’t it
when something just fades away
if something is broken
there is a way to repair it
it might not be easy, but it’s doable
but when a relationship just fades
there is no way to revive it
you can try, but it is simply a waste of time
when something “just isn’t there anymore,”
it’s basically calling a time of death
severing the bond
forcing a one-time pair to separate at a fork in the road that is life
and I don’t know if its just me, but I see a reoccurring pattern ever influencing my life
and I have come to the blatant conclusion that its not me that is the problem
but the winter that comes and freezes the hearts of those around me.
at least this is what I must tell myself in order to keep myself warm
however I must remind myself that no matter the situation
each soul I have ever encountered
there has been a purpose
a reason why
even if it is only for the season
