As the days grow cold
I yearn for warmth
For the fire
Only you can light
I look round
And see
The happy couples
Glowing brightly
With love and joy
Why can’t I know
That bright fiery warmth
Must I live
Ever weary
Ever cold
Ever lonely

My name is Devin Hogg. I was born and raised in Carnarvon, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2009 for university and lived here ever since. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics. View more posts
