change.

i am going through a breakup

seasons change,
as do emotions,
as do people.

forever doesn't exist,
and it never has,
and it never will.

it may be winter now,
but spring will come,
and summer follows.

you may be grieving now,
but acceptance comes,
and happiness follows.

I love this writing. It really portrays the feelings that people get during a breakup, but also at other points in life such as losing a loved one who passed away, losing a good friend etc. i really like how you explained the emotions in a way that isnt a constant present but doesn’t completely disregard the present emotions either. i like the idea of using the seasons to show how things will change and get better. overall i’m genuinely moved by this poem, it really makes a person think about times in their life where they might have related to this. it is incredibly well written and i really hope to read more works from you in the near future. you are a very talented poet and i hope you pursue this hobby further. until then, i wish you all the best in life and i hope you are doing okay.

The speaker is enduring a breakup, a painful situation most of us know. The philosophy enunciated in the poem, however, is very solid. Things do change, even when we don't want them to. Do your grief work, but don't despair. Grow from the experience and be open to better things. They will come.
