And So I Thaw

Lost. Numb.
Empty.
Wandering aimlessly....

Lifting my eyes I see
A vast, parched, dead land,
And an ash gray sky.

Stopping, I hear
The howling wind, whistling a
Hollow, distant sound.

Bending, I feel
It stinging my bare skin.
My hair whipping my cheeks.

Looking up, I gaze
At stars appearing,
Winking, mocking.
The night is falling.

I turn my head and
Look behind me, hoping
Against hope to see

You.

I see nothing.

Something breaks and I start thawing....

So I sit down and
hug myself instead.
And berate myself for following my heart
When I should have followed my head.
