Deep Sleep

Deep Sleep

A Story by Mia C.

The mountain top was dressed in a white sheet of snow,
The trees were lost in a deep sleep just dreaming of Spring.
Not a bird in sight, they all left for the south months ago.
Out the window I gazed at the empty streets,
everything felt so dead, but it's felt that way since you left.

I put on my coat and scarf, grabbed the red rose, and headed out to see you.
You always knew I'd give you anything and everything, but nothing could heal your aching soul.
I loved you so much and I know you knew that with every inch of what used to be your beating heart.

My lungs grew cold as I inhaled the crisp winter breeze,
tears fell like raindrops from the pit of my eyes,
the wind kissed my face trying to make me feel better
as I approached my worst nightmare that started six years ago.
I took the back way in by the lake like I always do,
as I approached,reality began to set in, and my heart raced as I got closer to you.
I brushed the snow off your grave marker and placed the rose beside your name.
I grew speechless, my voice became cracked and dry, my heart broke all over again.
I felt lost and confused, the tears kept streaming down my face.
I didn't know what to say or what to do, all I could think about is how much I really miss you.
