it has been a cold winter
settling a familiar ache in my joints
and chasing my tightly around the fire

bitter are the winds
raging against thick layers i'm wrapped in
pinching my cheeks angry red

the cold never leaves any scars on my skin
no ravaged marks nor lines of white
but it is painful nonetheless
