Snow's feathery kiss stings my skin
The crunch beneath my boots punctuating
Silence so loud my ears ring
The car's back at the office
Couldn't bear to drive, I
I'm not sure I could even see the road
My eyes don't work so well tonight
I can use the exercise
I'm just another black shadow
Flitting from streetlamp to streetlamp
shoulders hunched, crunch, crunch, crunch
Winter is the time of the dead
The silence is surprisingly painful
I finger my cell phone yet again
It doesn't ring so much anymore
A strange dead weight in my pocket
Soldiers always do their duty
I'm sticking with my final answer
If I didn't do anything wrong
Why is December so very cold?

Ooh, I loved this!~ Your choice of words and imagery always get me >.<
This line "I finger my cell phone yet again" at first I think "Nice... =__=" but then its followed but such a genuine saddness that it suddenly goes from (in my mind) some vague, just becasue I can innuendo, to a startling loneliness, like "Oh... huh."
It made me sad all over, pretty much.
