Frostbite

It was only wasting time

during warmer temperatures

that brought you to this point

of grayness

you sit in a room that should be cleaned

you would like to make it messier

but you have forgotten that, too

when you check the cupboards

there is usually more than you realized

more than you think you ever deserved

you'll make it, but then

you'll just have to start the cycle

over repeatedly

until no light remains

still you will wait it out

you have to.
