Inner Woman

The polyester plastic parka

popped and cracked

My boots crunched on the snow

with a peculiar squeak

The thermal socks

were not

My long johns?

i might as well be bare

Valentine`s Day

should be warm

My heart

cold

Like the weather

i matched my

Empty shell

to frosty mist

A ray of sun

peaks through

Lights a path

to you

In the ground

now

I am hollow

you are gone

I hear your voice

in dreams

I cannot heed

your wish

Love comes but once

in a life

Live on you said

give love a chance

How?

love is pain.
