closing, for good

the winter wind this morning
spoke to me with a voice of desperation
with sharp teeth of bitterness
that chilled me to the core
of everything I once believed in
but I had already tendered my resignation
to the coldness of it all
I'd already accepted the loss
and allowed the scars to harden
on the face of the heart
I no longer have to protect
for it has forgotten itself
become lost in a crowd of empty
broken from the husk
and away from risks that
are in no danger of being taken
by me
