i am not alone

[Guest guest]

the world is

relentless

and it's chill

burns my bones,

my heart gets lost

and I know

no way

home...

but

my friend,

as broken as I,

braves the

blizzard

of

my pain

even in hers,

and comes finds me in the dark and icy night.

how do i tell her

i love her beyond words?

that her courage

amidst her vulnerability

resuscitates my

exhausted spirit?

when

the world is

relentless

and it's chill

burns her bones,

when her heart gets lost

and knows no way

home,

i will

brave the

blizzard of

our pain,

blanket her with

my love,

and come find her in the

dark and icy night.
