Winter Is On My Tongue

Updated: Feb 5, 2024

By Safa Faruq


Winter is on my tongue,

Freezing my words at the tip.

I tried to scream,

To hold you back.



Don’t go.

I chanted in my mind,

Over and over again.

But my tongue only froze.

..because your soul craved for spring, tongue chose to remain frozen, so you flourish!
