the loneliness of summer
by Philippa JaneI felt so lonely today.
By sunset I had crawled
into bed, a disjointed
heart
surrounded by deadweight
limbs,
wrapping thoughts of
you around me
like a
blanket -
and yet it's (still)
easier
to breathe when
I'm so
close
to choking. 07/11/2003 Author's Note: Perhaps still in the works, but complete.. for now. A tad shorter than what I usually write, though.
