Excerpts from an old diary

Winterdust

Snowflakes in chilly noons

entangled in my hair

In faded sunshine morning

I could not resist your glare.

Driving up to the doctor

You never let show you care.

You said don't tell your mother

I couldn't speak, I just nodded.

In dentist's office I was freaking

You took my hand and

Said "There's nothing to scare"

My eyelids were glued shut

And my hand was in your palms

And I knew if had you,

It was going to hurt less.
