B.S. Otto

Falling Out

Sweaters knitted until the falling out
Could never keep your young heart warm
Be there when the fire stops
Or a dry ink letter is handed over hard
And the evening is nothing like the ones before
You nurture the rocks more today
And feel the burn of a cut in the cold

Frosty blood of a cold heart gains warmth
In the right company of ones loved

But that is not always consistent
And sometimes you are not enough
