Hot water bottle
Hot water bottle that I hold close.
That brings me warmth,
on a cold winter night.
I'm numb ,
my fingers and toes ache .
The bones have frozen in place,
my head frozen low.
Empty,
my stomach growers.
I ignore.
The hot water bottle,
held so close it may burst.
Its hot water anguishing my skin.
It will burn and boil,
I will feel again.
I feel nothing
but my hot water bottle.
Empty laughs,
empty words,
that get lost in the world.
It burns.
I do not care.
I wish to feel again,
I wish to feel you again.
That brings me warmth,
on a cold winter night.
I'm numb ,
my fingers and toes ache .
The bones have frozen in place,
my head frozen low.
Empty,
my stomach growers.
I ignore.
The hot water bottle,
held so close it may burst.
Its hot water anguishing my skin.
It will burn and boil,
I will feel again.
I feel nothing
but my hot water bottle.
Empty laughs,
empty words,
that get lost in the world.
It burns.
I do not care.
I wish to feel again,
I wish to feel you again.
