**********************************************************************
The
Little
Dog sits still
Waiting under
The green mistletoe
Hugged only by silence
His heart now begins to freeze
With the frost building on windows,
He dreams of warmth, but no one is near
From without, a well-known voice calls “Come here.”

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
