Discarded In Summer
Was I too much?
Too close?
Too heavy?
I still remember last winter
When your fingers clutched me
The dark mornings
When you couldn't let me go
I cradled you
In a cocoon of quiet warmth
I was the guardian of your shivers
And Now?
You toss me into the abyss
I lie waiting here in silence
Suffocating in mothballs
While the sun mocks me
But I know seasons turn
When the chill creeps back in
Through your bones
You'll remember me
And I?
I'll forgive you
Because warmth always does
