Falling into Winter

A step in the night and she is gone

Awash in his demons and he is gone

A peck on the cheek and she is gone

The turn of a key and he is gone

BItter rage and she is gone

“Happiness is love.”

Smiling with a faraway stare

“Nobody loves you”

Merry Christmas. You are not alone

“A pebble makes a difference”

Happy New Year.

A paper lantern rises in the black of night

“I’ll do”
