Snow Hornets

The night is cold Snow is pure Flakes are individuals No two alike Why do you haunt me? I live alone Inside There’s nothing But bitter cold Hornets fester In my heart Ready to protect My deadly guest One sting will kill The love you feel So leave my nest Hidden in a barn Where no one treads Not even mice
