The Last Day of December | A Painful Nostalgic Poem

This video is about the quiet, devastating grief of leaving someone behind in time, featured in the original poem "The Last Day of December." As part of the If & When (Poetry) collection, this piece captures the agonizing threshold between the end of a year and the terrifying arrival of a future without someone you loved. It speaks to the silent guilt of survival standing frozen in the cold on New Year's Eve while the world celebrates, knowing that crossing into midnight means leaving their shared memory in the past. If you are navigating grief, time's relentless movement, or the weight of painful nostalgia, may this poem offer a sanctuary for your feelings. #decemberpoetry #spokenwordpoetry #sadPoetry #newyearsevepoetry #originalpoetry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About LitCritica: Welcome to LitCritica, a platform for poetry, fiction, research, and literary criticism.
