December Skin Poem by Jade Leven

December Skin



Written on 12/16/06

you walk through the walls of my heart
in past lives they’ve been shallow and cold
you told my pain and my guilt to part
leaving me with a hand to hold
my core doesn’t shiver from being empty anymore
my laugh doesn’t seem so thin
because of you
I get into
my December skin

you told me something, you told me truth
so is it just supposed to be
it was the opposite of what I believed to be proof
that there was no good in me
I changed my mind so often then
I’d hate to be back where I’ve been
but now that’s through
I’m lying next to you
in my December skin

no words that I could speak
would you understand
to mean the good that has come out of
something so unplanned

will I always be so absorbed in this
you gave me comfort like I’ve never known
thank you for the endless happiness
and the love only you could’ve shown
these letters and sounds try to tell our story
I don’t even know where to begin
but you’re by my side
for now I reside
in my December skin

inside this glass frame is a perfect image
it takes away so much of my fear
you and I, we built this bridge
to get across this difficult year
it’s so sad we have so little time
and so many battles to win
I’ll enjoy what we own
and forget the unknown
in my December skin

no words that I could speak
would you understand
to mean the good that has come out of
something so unplanned

in a day with no hurt and a day with no tears
here’s the one thing I know is true
a hundred, a thousand, a million years
isn’t long enough to love you
but still, I’ll love you
