Frost

It sure has been awhile, but here it goes.

 

Frost

 

Black asphalt is eaten by the depth of the night,

street lamps flicker, almost giving in to darkness.

Life is scarce.

The sidewalks, crafted to serve a purpose that won't be served tonight.

How empty the world is tonight.

Your scarf, your hat, your corner;

attempt to shield you from the lurking horrors.

What lurks in the darkness tonight is the most tragic, most feared.

Itself.

You wish to cling to your shadow,

but to have a shadow there must be light.

How empty your world is.

How empty you are.

Chills run down your spine, but this time it's not fear.

It's cold.

You see every forced breath.

You count the seconds before your air dissapates,

wishing you could join it.

You know you can't, yet you still wish on every single breath.

A stranger walks by.

Nestled in his cloak, hat, scarf, gloves.

Warm he is, as he gives you a glance.

You glance back.

You wish for his clothes, his warmth.

Until you realize your cold is coming from within.

Be brave my dear, tonight is your hearts first frost.
