Life is Cold, Hard and Cruel

by Genevieve Sturrock

and it's all
just so much
more than
i care
to bear

so i curl
up next
to you
and listen
to the
steady
beat of
your heart

lulling me
to peace
as your
warmth
chases
away the
chill

This made me very grateful for the heartbeat that I can curl up to and draw such comforts. You did an excellent job of painting how stark life can be.
