From December - Project 86

It’s the first day

Since I handed you your final rose

In your house

I’m staring out the window at our tree (We planted below)

The heights of which

You’ll never

Ever know

You always

Were there to rescue me From december

I wonder if you’ll look the same

When you embrace me on that day

Will you remember my name

When I return home again?

In my minds eye

I see you next to me as I’m on my knees

It’s in this place

That you showed me how to ask eternity

For shelter

For comfort

For relief

I see our branches stretching

To heights you’d not believe

One day these leaves will reach you

And there will be no more

Pain

You always gave me refuge

Unconditional

You always offered shelter

From December’s snow

My chin still rests upon you

While my feet they sway

I wonder if you’ll look the same

When you embrace me On that day
