February
Cold and blue.
Icicles forever,
Nothing to look forward to.
No, I never had a Valentine.
No love this month, or ever.
The freedom of a wildebeest
Roaming the Serengeti
While avoiding the lion.
Temptation.
In search of a winner to soothe the heart
Shadowed by the constant dread of rejection,
Take a risk in the coldest month of the year.
Not the time to crave ice cream with a cherry on top
But life is short, indulge.
It melts quickly, as cold things often do
The pain will go away,
a new season to follow.
