Snow



Oh no,
The snow.
How I wish you'd melt away.
In you, I don't play.
For many years, in the warmth I've sat.
Because at you I loathe to look at.
On a cold winter day, lovers cuddle
I sit near my chimney, with my emotions I struggle.
And my loneliness I fight
On this cold winter night

When I am at home
I am all alone
For this I think of everything
And wish I could just live in a dream
Life would be better that way
If everything would just go away
And no I'm not trying to say
In a grave I want my body to lay
Mentally, I'm already dead
Me, I have no death bed.
Purgatory is where I'm at
Not heaven, hell or anything like that.

Snow, I see that you're still falling
My anger is now crawling
For I'm again thinking that life's unfair
My rage is that of a black bear.

Oh how the season of winter
Makes my temper oh-so bitter
I no longer want to be a quitter
But I'm not exactly a "winner."
Tonight my family I avoid at dinner
And convince myself more how I'm a sinner.

Oh Winter, why won't you die?
To you I want to say "goodbye"
I'm tired of being so mellow,
To the spring I want to say "hello."
Spring is when things live again
Hopefully one won't be my pain

Oh snow, it's now getting late
The time right now is eleven twenty-eight.
My attention I will avert from you
I already don't enjoy the view.

Timothy Craven

I used to write poems in middle school. Now a High School senior of 2010, I've began to write again because of recent happenings in life as a way to express myself at the request of a few close friends. more…
