Winter as an emotion

have you ever wondered what winter would feel like. Not physically. But how it would really feel.

It’s the type of cold that bites your lips and stings your eyes

tears freezing as it falls

the cold constricts your throat 

the snow flakes falling like your dreams. 

Hitting the floor and melting away before you

if your lucky it gathers and builds

gathering on the floor. 

But if your unluckily lucky to get that 

you then have so many overwhelming versions of you

sat. Gathered.

so much you can’t leave you can’t escape

it all snows you in

yyour only solution is to cry warm tears in hope it melts

but that’s like trying to clean the ocean with one drop of washing up liquid.

its not gonna work. You will always be stuck with an empty

or a full

floor of hopes and dreams withering away

letting the cold pain bite you day by day.
