In this time and age

if you are not physical

you are unwanted

Loving a man who

cannot see you as their own

is a way to die

in this cold city

it is incredibly hard

to let go of you

the pain that I feel

Is you standing on my chest

without touching me

Every morning

it doesn’t matter what I want

my mind follows you

That cold day in bed

you told me that you liked me,

but it was a dream

freshly fallen snow

nature's own winter blanket

time for earth to rest

Can't believe this voice

Mesmerize my conscious poise

Truly tantalized

Of the howling waves

The lonely lighthouse endures

Amidst vicious seas

seventeen stones piled

patiently waiting their turn

to form new bridges
