I quit attempting to title

By Kinkypoptart

A gust of wind outside the window
Snow drifts by in a never ending surge
The thought of wanting more, nothing now
As the cold consumes the thought within itself
Far too tired to sit up to watch anymore
I am the poet within these walls of silence
Burdened by the torture that is my conscience
Shards of light glitter in the distance
Calling out to me in a way so tempting
Temporarily driving me insane again
Holding tight to this sensation, I feel...
A cold embrace of a deadly stillness
Overcoming the warmth inside
All the emotion I once felt, now faded...
Somehow the vortex between life and death
Disappeared between now and... tomorrow

    This is very well worded. "I am the poet within these walls of silence..." what a sense of emptiness and aloneness this leaves me with. Excellent write. -Michael
