Winter

There is something about winter, the way it wraps around you like a blanket.

It makes all the people around you warmer and more useful.

It makes the sweets sweeter and the savory left for saving.

It makes me miss the family i never had and need the people that tend to leave.

Instead I rely on cashmere sweaters and knee socks to keep me sheltered from the cold you emit

 when you sit across from me at every meeting. 

The skin is thick but I still feel the hurt.
