January Rain

January rain, as cold as you
in my eyes
turning lashes to icicles
and for whatever reason I am still there
feeling your breath on my cheek

I don't know how to stop this
I've been pouring you 
out of me for months
every kiss
every wish
everything that takes me back 
to when I loved you so hard
I couldn't feel myself
to when parts of me began
to fade away

I've worn holes in my heart because of it
and I find my time so much heavier
now that I carry it all on my own
