I don't see it anymore,
I don't feel it anymore,
No, I don't mean to say
I don't feel love for you
anymore.
I mean to say that I know
that when you look at me,
I know there are no butterflies
inside you.
Should we go back to being strangers?
Think about it, you never stopped
staring.
Your eyes always shined when you
looked at me.
If we become strangers, maybe you will crave
me.
Maybe you will put more effort into us.
Now, you barely look at me, you don't
ask about my day.
You only have expectations, but if I
have expectations you'll say I'm too much.
Let's be strangers again. I want you to cry over me,
I want you to call me constantly.

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Ahh, ouch 💔
Sadly, people only realise the value of someone after they lose them. Loved your poem!
