TomorrowA Poem by KingKatThe warmth of the next season can't be written when the pages are already filled.
Oh, I don't know if I'll miss you.
Were you truly my best friend? Yesterday, you left without me again And today, I don't think I can crawl back. My pages are filled to the brim with black ink I have one more page until the cherry blossoms 'Something good about my day' I need to write again But my hands just shake Without you, my world cracks like ice And snow falls like it itself is forever young, with its life ahead Everything I scribble is dangerously dark My black thoughts pass through every day Unlike the season, they leave a trace My blackened mind - don't go away I sulk; my back against a bereaving bark tree that just lost its frail leaves I try again My migraine aches What should I write? My heart faints What should I write? But I get up again What should I write? Even worse, the pretty flakes melt and soak the pages I question if marching through the snow is really worth it I can't feel anything as the world turns I can't keep accepting my refusal to refuse. Yet the blanketed world still holds me down to watch Winter melt on this last day It's just the same I've watched it melt for years now; the snow will bury me next year And that flower of Me won't spring anyway This time, it's absolute In the dark night, there will be my light Everything goes black and I'll see white You'll see the pink petals Let me fly You'll be alright Chitter chatter on the streets cause sorrow "The weather says it'll be sunny tomorrow" While rainbows are bound for when Spring awakens at dawn And whilst cherry blossoms bloom past this day On this one last snowy day become my sunbrilla Don't let my final page soak and rip and tear through my heart. I'll miss you. But don't miss me. IFor the final time, I'm alone again. © 2023 KingKat |
