count the cracks in my skin.
see the light as it shudders
and bends around my bones.
they say the light fades
once the cold settles in.
they say you grow harder
like the ice spreading within.
I do not want to forget
what love tastes like.
I do not want to forget
what humanity means.
hold the lines as they blur.
fend off the hopelessness
creeping into your soul.
never forget about the light.
never forget that
you will always
shine brightest
from within.
