What winter feels like

What winter feels like

by Joel Howard

I feel broken

Empty and alone

Weeping, I look upward

Where is my life? 

My branches are strong

Though cold pursues me

Where is my warmth? 

Is this the end for me? 

No life around me

No green, no warmth

No friends in sight

They've all turned and ran

Now I look downward

To what is inside

Where is my life? 

I now wither and die
