Chill of NeglectA Poem by Avery JamesIt’s a strange feeling, to be given up on.
You remember their every smile,
while they think of their every frown.
Long nights and even shorter days,
Who really calls it quits?
Is it you,
The one who let it go unnoticed?
Or them,
Who,
In malignance,
Left the window open and let the cool breeze
of neglect trace your sleeping lips?
Part Two:
It was you who brought on this winter.
You accepted that long ago.
You fight for spring,
Shorts and flip flops.
Please take me back.
You know I get so lonely in the winter.
The chill eats me from the inside
And all I think of is the sun.
