"She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time." – Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

(CHEATIN WITH AN OLD ONE BUT MAN IS IT SO ON)

the girl you love looks
like a blizzard and so
you shackle yourself
to her feet [because
that is, after all, the
only way you know
to survive].

the girl you love
kisses you and calls
you ‘frostbite girl’
and you find icicles
in the crooks of
her skin, snowflakes
caught in her
eyelashes.

the girl you love
is always cold,
snow storms
replacing her
bone marrow and
sleet sliding from
her mouth into yours.

the girl you love
is an avalanche
[and you cannot
stop begging for
her to bury you in
her arms, in her skin].

the girl you love
smiles and all you
can think is ‘love
her, love her, love her.’

- Darshana Suresh, seasons series, "winter girl"
