Here he comes again

Drifting down the road towards me

Swirling mist of impenetrable black

I know what’s to come

Envelopment

Close my eyes

Shut it out

Wait for him to pass

Please don’t linger on my soul

Don’t let your cold fingers 

Slip down my throat 

And pull my heart from me,

Let me be

I have no interest in you 

And you no interest in me.

I breathe in the cold air of winter you bring

In the fog that surrounds you.

I hold my breath 

In the hope you won’t notice me.

But pass you must 

To beyond the horizon 

For after the dark

There is light.
