The chill kisses my skin as
My nose turns red from the dry, winter air
I am oblivious to this cold
A numbness seems to have engulfed me.
I can't feel the temperature fall
Not the snowflakes melting on my face
I miss the warmth of a person's hand
Never satisfied
At home I sink into the cushion on the sofa
The softness of it, lacking
Miss kitty then snuggles on my lap
My sight a reminder that I am petting her black fur
I sit in front of the fireplace
I wonder and crave the touch of fire
The fear of getting burned is gone
I cannot feel pain
Like a magic cloak
Forever protecting me from flame
An ironic superpower
For someone who feels so deeply.
