loneliness has come once more
the bite in the air
mimics
the similar nipping at my heart
with the drop in temperature
comes a lowering of defenses
i am overcome by vulnerability
i feel so many things i've ignored
for half a year or more
why must things be this way?
i'm invigorated by the cold,
i am human in my shivering
in this loneliness there is
love i've yet learned to embrace
just like i feel the air around
you've completely enveloped me
though just as the cold
knows not who she caresses,
you hold no particular favor for me
your embrace will permeate
absolutely and impartially,
it is far too vast for i
i've yet to feel the tingle
of sweet summer on my skin
i've reveled only in winter
now i long for you to let me in
i shiver in my longing
dreaming only of your warmth
there's a certain kind of romance
in the turmoil you've brought forth
i feel that this is only the beginning
