winter storms

Winter storms are nothing.
I am alone for the first time
in my life now, truly alone
and broke, not one thin dime
not one friend that can be a friend
not one lover that can understand
no place left to go, to be
things not going like I had planned.

Winter storms are nothing.
I think I lost God somewhere
homeless and desolate, candles burnt
think I lost myself out there
in some numbing darkness, change
where nothing seems to be for real
time to move on and winter storms
don't even show me I can feel
anything greater than nothing.
