Frozen Fingertips

[Tack]

Needless to say this is the first unhappy poem that I've written. To be blunt, I haven't been feeling to great these past few months, and this was what came out of it. This is for someone that doesn't sit well with me now, even if she used to.

 

Frozen Fingertips

 

I wore a tie around my neck for you today

But I needed to say something more like a storm

Something louder than the six AM alarm

That you shut off after you've only had a few hours sleep

But you pull your hair from those frown lines

My eyes are just not brown enough

 

I wore a white button-up shirt for you today

But I really wanted to slip under the double sheets

In black boxers and drag the heavy covers over me

While thousands of people celebrate

The birth of someone they don't believe in

Or the start of something brand new

 

I wore a grey hat for you today

Because the ice on the sidewalk reminded me

Of slipping and slipping reminds me of you

And you remind me of being cold

So I wore a grey hat instead of heavy grip boots

To stop my bones from breaking

 

And I wore a white shirt to hide sagging shoulders

And a tie to remind me that you were the reason

That I could feel perfect

But without you I am simply a boy

With weak arms and empty eyes

And frozen fingertips
