Cold

By Cate Dumez

21st Century


It was colder than it ought to be in January
But you took my chills and made them go away
The world dug a hole for my heart to be buried
It was you that kept me from falling in
I held my hand out and hoped you'd take it
My hands are ice, I need you to warm them
You made a promise, please don't break it
You said you'd never leave me cold and alone
A desert storm sweeps through my head
So fierce and angry, yet so empty
I can't remember the words you said
The things you said before, "Goodbye"
So now I'm here, without you
My hope melts away, but I grow cold deep inside
Before I was so sure about life, But now that's not true
I've lost all sense of what I am, from what I was
Without you...
