lullabies ☁︎ [poetry]

s p r i n g

Winter left, leaving me with spring
I almost felt whole again
The flowers began to bloom,
trees coming to life
He soon gained his laugh again,
The cracks slowly fading away from his skin

We would lay in the meadow together
Nothing but silence between us
Oh how I wished he would come back to me
To feel summer once more
He made me feel summer all year round
When I heard his laughter
Felt him beside me

He would eventually break down
Begging me to love him once more
Take me in his grasp, apologize for his wrong
I would take him in my arms
Shiver at the final touch of his arm
I would run my fingers across his face,
Remind myself that it was real.

He would whisper to me,
Bring a hand up to my cheek
"I love you the same."
I couldn't stop the tears that streamed down my cheeks
As I would pull myself into the crook of his neck
I pulled onto him with everything I had
I feared for fall and winter
For I knew they would come again

But all I could do was live for now
Spring and Summer
For when he was whole
And loved me.
