don't ask me why...

...it just hurts... haunting me day and night...

***

so cold...
so empty...
so lonely...
another cruel winter to face...

this torture...
this nightmare...
this cage...
an inescapable labyrinth...

a year...
a month...
a day...
each fearful minute...

one word...
one shatter...
one tear...
numerous shards of a broken heart...
