december

it's so cold without you love

i have layers and layers and layers
you'll see no tears from these eyes
but i convulse and cold you watch
i fight shivers amid flaming realities

an evil sort of inescapable cold
that sneaks into my thoughts
controls my body with shakes and voodoo
and never relents the chilling reminders

i don't seek warmth
only the weak died from fear
i seek courage
because so many of the strong
never lived

and i refuse to freeze with you watching
