I refuse to wipe the tears from my eyes
after crying for fifteen minutes straight,

letting the salt dissolve into my cheeks
as a reminder for the snow outside.

I think I could cry like this forever
and never lose my balance again;

it’s the greatest feeling in the world,
crying your soul out like this.

I’m sure outside my frosted window
I must look like a crazy person,

but that isn’t going to stop me
from doing it some more.

*Thank you …
