A poem about losing someone to themselves.
Aokigahara in the Winter
Can I maybe talk you through,
a brand new point of view -
where you aren't as mean,
as you have always been?
You say you have your reasons
for all the ways that you are;
you change like the seasons,
despite having come so far.
I am afraid of where you go,
that you might not come back;
your sins are lost in the snow,
and have gone with your track.
