Growing

When these winter nights 

Remind you 

Of the cold nights,

Some faces seep into the mind 

Just like the ghosts 

Haunting the corridors.

The cold slithering through the skin

Seems to cast a frozen spell 

Around the broken heart.

Did loneliness feel like this?

I no longer remember.

Was the cold always this sharp?

Casting wounds on my soul. 

The chain around my heart 

Seems to tighten more.

I can't breathe for long 

As it hurts everytime. 

Will this pain ever end?

Or is it just a part of growing up?

'Grow up!'

Yes, I did. Finally . What you wished for.
