Thoughts on Sad Poem?

It is a re post, I know this is shocking but I only got one answer for my last post

Star it if you like it please :), let me know what you think, criticism positive or negative doesn't bother me

As per the last poster's answer, I have made a few changes

Seasons pass from hot to cold

The bitter wind calls out your name

And days grow bleak and long and old

This lonely house is not the same

The window sobs as raindrops fall

In silent taps against the glass

The darkened grey, consuming all

When will the rain begin to pass?

I sit alone, in darkness lay

Without your warmth and loving smile

A thousand deaths I'd die each day

If just to hold you for awhile

Reaching forward, path unknown

I grasp at straws too thin to pry

And though my love for you has grown

My heart has withered, left to die

Update:

oh yeah, I write some every once and awhile and post them

I used to write a lot in high school, but although I write them much less frequently, I think that they are of much higher quality than my old stuff

    An exceptionally moving verse is your second, here.

    Your last couplet is also deeply affecting...Will you write more?

    To me, the most substantial and memorable poem of a feeling nature in several days.

    Thank You.

    Very clear message about grief and waiting for it to stop. I like the part about grasping at straws and the love has grown but left to die. Very sweet and sad.

    It is sad but a well done poem.

    I think, though the entire piece is fine, my fave two lines begin the last stanza.
