I was drawing a picture,
A painting of everything I knew,
A painting in which you could see,
Everything I have seen.

It was an image of a cold,
And lonely landscape,
For it was what I have become.

Cold and lonely.
(But also inevitable)
Just like the winter is.

Inevitable and unstoppable,
As death itself.

When the image was completed,
I stepped back,
And saw that my work,
Was perfect.

But I was not.

The picture was lacking imperfection,
It was lacking something I still had.

It was lacking emotion,
Emotion caused by memories,
I could not forget.

Therefore, I destroyed my work of art,
Work of life.

And painted the snow black,
In memory of you.

Had my doubts putting this into 'romance' cathegory, but it seems like it's the most suitable one anyways. In general, a tribute to a person whom I liked, but for various reasons lost contact with. :)

that's absolutely beautiful! really emotive and "dark" at the same time... and it's the kind of poem that you don't give up reading in the middle of it, it incites curiosity on the reader. :)
