January Nights

January Nights

January nights is like a forgotten
overplayed song in my playlist.
I used to know its words
by heart but i have
no longer remember the
in between lines. January
nights is like a lukewarm cup of coffee.
It ran like water in
my mouth, it does not burn
my tongue. January nights are overdue
Christmas lights wrap around trees.
It took me months to unlearn your ways.
January nights is full on memories,
rips and pieces. A displaced
old purse with old bank notes.
January nights is lonely.
i am not alone i just
feel alone. January nights are
rabbit holes. i had no idea
i have been spiralling down.
January nights is you.
You that goes out after dark
then leave me by daylight.
January is like waiting for you
to come back home.
