Treacherous and lonely
I’ve grown accustomed to the cold
here in the dark emptiness
I’m waiting on you.
I’ve catalogued and counted
going through all my feelings
perhaps I’ve been rewarded
with nothing more than
a soft and precious whisper.
Cupped and curled in a way
here in the early summer dew
I swear it can’t be helped
but to truly smile
when I see you.
