Cold
Cold is what I feel on days
I think about our past
‘cause cold is what you were to me
When our love couldn’t last
The thought of you and we and us
Is glacier, snow, and frost
An avalanche of detriment
Completes what love we lost
A chill is with me evermore
Burned, scraped into my heart
As if a flame of warmth within
Would tear us more apart
And yet somehow through everything
I’ve known this to be true
That plunging into frozen seas
Would bring me back to you
