Closure

Lover or Loser
It's but one letter difference
and I have felt both.
I shiver in winter
with window
frozen open
I am cold
and I can't get it
shut.
The glass
too cracked
to keep warmth inside.
Help me.
Give me truths
Painful answers
fill the blanks
Show me how
love turns off
like a faucet
and yet drips still.
You sit back
neither tightening or loosening
and let the drip drop
the single tear of hope
continue.
drip
drop
I cling to the sound
waiting
loyal
lover
loser
by the window
listening.
