Winter of My Life

This is a poem I wrote on March 15, 2009. It's a poem from the point of view of a speaker who feels down about their life and is using winter as a metaphor for how they're feeling. I wasn't feeling this way at the time I wrote this poem, so all I can figure is that I was mining feelings from my past.


Today feels so cold, so desolate
As the snow falls from the heavens above
The wind cuts through my soul like a knife
As darkness descends upon my heart
I feel like I'm in the winter of my life
Futilely waiting for the spring
And the warmth it will bring
To thaw my frozen heart
