At night when silence?
Envelops the town?
It is raining white?
I hold up my palms
?The snow melts as soon as I touched it?
A transient piece of life?
?Snow now accumulates without a sound?
Like light
?You smile as you gathered it
?Hey, how do I sound??
Even if I reply, you
?Cannot hear anymore??
Say you're in pain?
Say you're lonely
?I'll find you?
Wherever you are...?
Don't leave me behind?
?aren't we always together??
?As the snow becomes thicker?
You gradually fade away?
I can't do anything but embrace you??
I wish, just one more time?
To hear your voice?!
One more time,
just one more time...?
Say my name...??
From your unfocused, blank eyes?
A drop appeared??
In this gray world?
Everything has stopped?
Except for the quietly falling snow?
?You are becoming cold?
Your voice has not come back?
We've given up understanding each other
?Hear my voice,
smile for me once more?
I have ran out of tears?
I cannot Melt you...??
If possible, my voice
?Take it all away
?And give it to the person dear to me??
If I'll be in a world alone?
Without you Just...?
Take me away?
With you?
?I love you, even that?
Cannot be said?
Our era?

Is about to close?forever??
Even if I shout, I can't get
?You or your voice back?
?To the falling snow?
Please don't stop falling?
Take me away with him??
Everything transient, my voice, my life?
Erase all of them?
?Until all is white...


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem two year ago when i lost my grandpa. When i was writing this my boyfriend also dumped me around the same time. It was a really hard time for me. When i was writing this i was trying to come up with a song but instead i created a poem. I have to say this poem is probably still the most emotional connection that I have with the people I lost and still love. I hope that you read this poem and enjoy it.
