absence

Winter Coat

Posted on April 14, 2015 Updated on May 5, 2015

Tossing glasses back

Like enough drinks

Could replenish all the tears

I wake up with icicles hanging off of my lashes

Your absence has me stranded in winter

And alcohol is my winter coat

Glacial Endings

Posted on February 18, 2015

Cold water is

Rushing into my capillaries

Filling my lungs

With your icy absence

Drowning my heart

In its cage
