The Bitterness

I remember the sweet summer air --

I could press my eyelashes together and pretend it was you

Breathing softly against my shoulder.

But with this frost and bitter weather,

Closed eyes only complicates the loneliness.

Shivering, I hide behind my eyelids and wish

I had someone warm to huddle against.
