• As Cold as the Snow Frosted Window


    She stands in the absence of feeling.
    as the warmth she seeks denies
    the gratitude of revealing itself.

    Nothing of any mind, soul, or heart
    knows of the assailment her adamant will
    has received and absorbed.

    The attempts to repel the brunt of it all
    have proven inefficacious and all she can do
    is sit in front of her window becoming lost and
    as cold as the frost that laces itself along the edges
    of the glass to another world.
