It’s hard to whisper in winter
sound deadened by snow
speak up loudly when you see her
breathe deeply
deep down low
soon now
she will leave you
seemingly unaware
the outskirts of her mind
staying is better
nothing was dire
never have to worry
skilled at being alone
cold feet frozen
crunching through the snow
each footstep echoes
never stopping
onward she goes
never whisper in winter
the eerie quiet of the snow
