A year in review

The winter

The world implodes

The silence hurts my ears

Sobbing
Chocking
Gut-wrenching
Tears

Words so many words
Too many words
Not nearly enough

Mourning what was and was not
Loss of monumental proportion

The spring

The awakening
The first breath
The sense of relief

Conflicted
The overwhelming guilt

The first steps towards tomorrow
Discovering myself all over again

Redefining

Breathing

Deep
Long
Fulfilling breaths

The promise of who I can be

The summer

The realization of who I am

No longer longing for tomorrow

Living in today

The Fall

The man

The moments

Late night eggs
Early morning good byes

Miscommunications
No communication
Insecurity
Independence and overdependence

Teetering on the edge

The moment of falling
Finger nails digging in
Holding on
Not wanting to fall too far

Self preservation motivates

Self preservation wins

The snow arrives
It provides a blanket of white insulation
Cold and warm
Light and fluffy
Hard and packed all at once

Another winter

Another me
