Freeze Warning

There’s a freeze coming

I feel it in the

hidden recesses

Of my soul

The signs are there

numbing coldness

The lack of feeling in my

Mental extremities

The paralyzing listlessness

From being trapped inside

A cruel internal world

of ice and frost

I’m desperately

searching for

Some sort of relief

Trying to stockpile

Firewood in the form

Of something to hope for

Something to live for

But the trees are

hard to find

And I don’t have the tools

To make usable fuel

To warm a heart

And a life

That has started

freezing over

The moment that

you decided

You don’t love

me anymore.
