Like The Winter

by Monica Salazar − Hugh Boyd Secondary School, Richmond BC Oct 6, 2011

You are like the winter, did you know?
Cold and unforgiving, you pull me apart.
I am what you want me to be, does it show?
Did you know it for a fact since the start?

You are like the winter, do you realize?
You take but never give anything back.
Every time I try to get better you criticize,
And there’s no good about you, only dark.

You are like the winter, can’t you see?
Always so unfeeling and composed.
And I know how truly cruel you can be,
Even when you appear completely poised.

You are like the winter; don’t you think it’s sad?
But I don’t really care about frostbite or ice.
As long as you are with me, no matter how bad,
I will wait for spring to bloom in your eyes.
