Icy Silence

It’s dark and cold
My breath is visible,
And there’s snow all around me.
I huddle in my jacket
Walking step by step
Headphones blasting.
It must be winter
And I must be out at night.
A familiar scene to me-
Lamp post lights illuminate-
Snow
Road,
And ice.
All I have is my music,
I sing to it,
And walk.
Watching afar it must look fun,
But it isn’t.
It’s a romantic scene I play in my head as I walk in the snow.
Me with a special someone,
Me to ask them if they’re cold
Me to to offer my coat
Me to speak.
There is nothing but a dream,
A dream I altered.
A have no special someone,
And I probably never will,
But what better-
Than a friend to talk to…
As we walk
Side by side
In the cold
Nothing but our voices to break the silence.
