Do you remember what February did
I do
February hurt me
I talked to February
Last year
I said
“I want closeness
I want somebody close
Not just anyone
I want one person to trust
And hold
I want skin on skin contact
I want to hold someone
I want a reason
Reason in the shit”
Because it hurt me
February hurt me
It came back this year
It put hooks in me and now hangs
From my skin
February says nothing to me
February cares not
February spells c-a-r-e with a K
And ends it with ills
Can you replace February, Love?
I hate to even ask
But I need care
From you
No one else
Not February
You

Beautiful...this is a poem one wants to read again and again as they plunge into the author's psyche.
