Grieving The Living

You know the feeling;

The bitter winter wind howls

It growls at trees and cars and just

With each gust it tears your skin

Below the din your pain unheard.

You know the feeling;

The wind blows through your soul

And here your role is made clear.

All that you fear is broken on the wheel

of winter’s real and horrid whip.

You know the feeling;

Of frozen winds blowing through you,

Your fingers blue, your breath stolen

by cold again; You take in air,

Your lungs laid bare, agony a scale of ten.

You know the feeling;

Of silent screams made for oxygen.

Yet again I speak of breathing,

Your body needing despite taking

It’s fill; making you drown despite air

Finding fully fair passage inside.

I know the feeling;

Of drowning despite having ample supply

Of what I cry for. “Air, I plead

It is air I need”, like a man begging water

Completely unbothered, sitting in a lake.

I know the feeling;

Of feeling like I cannot breathe.

I still seethe on old past pains

A cyst that never drains, I drown in winter air, I splinter from what is real.

I know the feeling;

Of missing what you’ve had

Though it is my bad I’ve lost my heart

This art I hope can show you’ve left me

Drowning in open air.

#poetry #drowning in open air #I lost the ones that love me.#I cannot get them back.#you know the feeling #loss #grieving the living.
