Weather

Autumn evenings I find cruel

Winter mornings, wicked

The cold bites at me tearing corners from my brain

Its teeth dragging forward the summer days we spent together

The days spent hidden in the heart of the earth

As though it wasn’t everything and we weren’t nothing

I had hope for us and placed my trust in you

Was I wrong to put my heart in the hands of someone who’s never held their own

I remember when your hands wrapped around my ribs, plucking them out one by one

I watched as you danced to the sound they made

And now as the winter snow falls slow, I sit in silence.
