What a shame, we died
You tried to love me
But you lied
Oh, you didn't mean to
You tried your best
But it's never enough
What a bloody mess
But I must confess
I don't think any less
Of you, I just don't think I am capable
Of this kind of congress
Trying to get everything from one person
Always causes huge stress.
What a sadness
Our love fled
You said that I'd become
Your sister instead
Family is a beautiful thing
But it isn't reason enough
To wear a ring.

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.
