a wishful woeful winter day

honeyed butter and flour dipped 
in creamed coffee 
a walk in the snow at midday 
someone to love and hold 
fired reading and an even heartbeat 
a floral scone with tea 
a stretch in the evening 
pureed squash with fried bread 
a bath to share 
some essays and sweet kisses 

that will never be mine 
i'll never be still 
and it's my fault 

but i have to be one step 
ahead of them 
i have to be consumed by what they are 
and what they may not be

i only know devastating 
so i'll leave you with this 
it's okay to let them catch you 
and to be scared 
it's okay to never have loved 
it's not okay to die never having tried
