Winter- As cold as your heart
But also as beautiful as you
The snow as white as my pale skin
Snow sparkly like your eyes
Dead like me, but simultaneously alive
Slippery; one mistake could cost your life
I could die in seconds at the hands of you
Spring- Here's to new beginnings
New flowers blossom; alive again
As colorful as my hair dyed head
The grass as green as your eyes
Everything very much alive like I was for some miraculous reason
The air cleaner; thoughts no longer poisoned our minds
Flowers bloomed; you picked them up; they died
Why is it that everything that touches you dies?
Little did I know, I was next
Summer- Hot and heated like us
The sunshine golden like your hair
So much time, none of which we knew what to do with
You used to hurt me, there wasn't a way to hide the bruises
You said I deserved it
The sun beat down on us much like you did on me
Sweat poured out like the blood down my nose and lips and like the blood on your knuckles.
Not your own though...
Autumn- So much for new beginnings
As the days grew shorter so did your temper
Whatever we had was now gone much like the flowers in spring
I could hide my scars easier now though
Here you come: my heart thumps as loud as the crunching of the leaves under your boots
I'm sure you can hear it too
One wrong move and I'll fall like the leaves from the oak tree I'm standing in
3, 2, 1 and you looked up
The sparkle in your eyes, now gone. In its place is now an evil glint
The moment and everything else are gone. In its place is now fear
Well goodbye
Winter- The funeral is as lifeless as I am now
You're here
They blamed it on the cuts, drugs, alcohol, depression
But never on you
We were both perfect, except for you...
And now I was dead
Time for revenge...
