Snowdrops
snowdrops rise from the snow
sparkle & shine- they don’t know how to warm me
i know they don’t bloom for me
sun beams fall onto the snow
sparkle & shine- they don’t know how to touch things
they only shine on the crust of things
and that’s the place where you live now
why did you leave me
you didn’t need me
i needed you
men leave tracks on the snow
sparkle & shine- they don’t know where they’re going
luminous and unknowing
a shadow falls on the snow
it’s only me, but they don’t know- they don’t see me
shiver when they are near me
but i shiver too
why did you leave me
you didn’t need me
i needed you
fingers flowing through the air
there’s nothing there, there’s nothing there
i reach for you my fingers flow like hair
place my hand into the snow
to feel the pain- i want to know what the pain is
i thought i heard it whispering
gauzy wings upon my arm
sparkle & shine- there is no harm that can change me
let the cold embrace me
and i will be a light for you
why did you leave me
you didn’t need me
i needed you
