When I go to sleep
I place my rib cage under my bed
My bones are heavy yet weightless
This is not the place to be
Burdened with a sorrow that devours me
It wont be long and my heart will follow
Pumping at the foot of my bed
As I lay still and hear the beat
I can feel the hesitation
I can taste the defeat
We have winter here in the Upper Peninsula 6 months out of the year. This winter has taken its toll on me. We are suppose to get another storm tonight. So I guess I will write and try and defeat this old man winter.
