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

Love this so much Ruth at first you are thinking of a lost lover someone that meant so much to you.
Perhaps something or someone has reminded you of this lost romantic love affair.
This last line is the part I love - - - only because I still think you have covered up the real meaning of your poem.
Now you can snuggle up tight x
