Torpid souls in the heat of winter

Wind whispers through the ears of distant lovers as the sun hides behind ominously positioned clouds 
where their gray cast shadows on quiet hearts 
quiet minds, & quiet eyes alike 

Poor lovers, transfixed by natures embodiment of their undisclosed truths, 
words no more manageable than a peep escaping a ducklings throat 

Eyes shut wide, glued by dependance
Waiting for mama to come, waiting to be fed 

But there is no food here, just gray 
& mama will not come it is just you and i
& the feelings we dare not bare 
Starving ourselves 
waiting for spring to melt the ice away
