Words Poem by soren Barrett

It's been years since we've talked
So many words have passed between us
But it's been years since we've talked
We used to talk of dreams and funny things
We used to laugh until we cried
Now it's been so long since I've seen your smile
How long has it been since happiness died?
You lay so close to me
Yet you're so far away
You would lay on my shoulder
You used to giggle and play
We swore to be together forever
And so we are, in skin and bone
Cold words stiffen my muscles
Your eyes burn through me
then leave me alone
It's been years since we've talked
How can I know where you have gone?
It's been years since we've talked
And I feel the chilled winds of winter coming on
