When You Loved Me

The snow is gentle to me-

Falls in small puffs all around

And caresses my cheeks,

Landing in tendrils of my hair.

The wind is sweet to me-

Plays innocently with my hair,

Dancing around my body,

Whispering songs into my ear

Meant for only me to hear.

The stars are loving to me-

Guiding my way back from places unknown,

Lighting my cold, heart torn nights

The ones that you give to me.

You are not gentle to me

Nor sweet, or loving.

But I’m all of this to you

For I love you with all of my being.

Your words cut deep-

Cuts that the snow touches,

Burning and freezing all it touches.

Your cold stares leave me shattered-

Shatters that the wind blows away

Into the shadows, never to be found.

Your unfeeling kisses hollow my soul-

The soul that the stars shine into,

Illuminating the space left behind.

The snow was gentle to me,

The wind was sweet,

The stars were loving,

When you loved me.
