The Longest Winter

The clock's ticking although I don't hear it
and the leaves fell again this year
although they fall every year
and the sky is blue though I see more gray clouds
How long has it been winter?
I can't tell anymore because, because,
because,
it feels like I've been tallying every day
since the sun first emerged from where...again?
though I know it's only February
I'm sure December was six years ago
or maybe seven
but I'm scared
but I keep running away
from my real
problem
that what if
once this winter
is gone,
I'll still feel like I'm stuck
in the longest winter ever.
