BONE COLD
I have been so cold
for so long.
Wary, weary
watching, waiting
for something to bring warmth.
And you came
and you offered
more than you thought you did
and I felt the heat
that I'd heard so much about
that I'd hungered for
that I'd hoped would be harvested
years before
but had only finally come to my home
and then was gone again
just as fast.
Now I'm more fully frozen
than ever
and the memory
the contrast
leaves me colder still.
