(about a relationship I had years ago)
----------------------------------------
So like winter,
these words,
you said to me,
each one frozen in the air between us.
You left them to me,
breaking like ice at my feet,
when you left.
So like winter,
the last few nights,
we both pulled away,
in spite of a need for warmth.
You reminded me of
a need for my cold places,
by telling me you hated them.
So like winter,
now that I have them.
