Broken Windows

The air is heavy with snow that has yet to fall

Out my window, Lights glow softly for those of us who cannot yet sleep 

The road glistens

And I lose the hope I've carefully stockpiled 

Disengaged

Not… sustainable

Words you don't even know the meaning of 

Tossed carelessly around 

Wind shakes the window pane

Which shakes the wall

I shiver

I have no hovel to protect me from this storm 

    Poor Tom's a-cold! 

The clouds remain heavy with anticipation 

But the rain pelts down 

     Or that's what I answer when 

     asked why my face is wet 

Starlight, star bright

      I didn't want this 

I wish I may, I wish I might 

      Help me to understand.

      Please don't leave. 

And so it goes
