An Event During A Snowstorm

Closed now, the eyes of constant disapproval
Will it also silence your voice in me?
Doubter and Negater
Corrosive to all confidence, satisfaction, trust, comfort
Any possible victory
Worth.

We never did make our peace
I couldn't find a picture of how that should look
Could you? Did you look for one?
We just got on with it, held the tension
Mostly avoiding further collision

Now you are no more
And there is no victory or relief
Just a lot of time spent clenched
Gone

I'm gasping in a foot of snow
Shoveling and cursing
Remembering when the hot tears
The sweat and the hate were
All for you. Now, I don't know
Who they're for.
