My heart is like a snow laden car
Freezing in the bitter cold
Left to stand in a parking lot semi-alone
Clearing my windows I depart
Most anxiously to feel the need
And yet as in each morning, each winter
When the days are dreary and quick to dark
There is a frost to be found all around
And so my hesitant in heart
Is to turn over and start
Warming only by this, the end of this drive
For my heart is like a snow laden car
Covered and only to be seen in part
When cleared away the beating heart
Is too warm too late and frozen still
Truthfully - This poem began as a thought, "my car is only warm by the end of my drive"
