Darker Thoughts

Part 111

An Ode to Winter

The cold settled in
frozen
Like the memories of you and me
And the cold slowly seeps in
Numbing
Like a phantom limb tingling
Your absence is a void
That spreads into my whole being
Until the cold grips me like desperation
Clinging to me like a blanket on a winter night
And that is all the comfort that I could take
Indeed, that's all the comfort that I could take.
