I TEND TO FIND MYSELF SHOVING MY BODY IN PLACES THAT ARE WARM
AND CRAVING THEM WHEN THEY'RE NOT AROUND
MAYBE FINDING MYSELF IN A HOT BATH, OCCASIONALLY IN YOUR SWEATER, AND OFTEN IN YOUR ARMS
THE COLD IS THE WORST
SHIVERING AND ALONE
CURLING INTO A BALL SHAKING
TRYING TO GAIN HEAT
GAIN SANITY
GAIN FEELING BACK IN MY TOES, BUT ALSO MY MIND
THE COLD WINTERS BRING OUT THAT COLD PART OF ME
THE ICY PLACE I TEND TO NUZZLE IN A BLANKET AT ANY TIME POSSIBLE
THERE'S A FLIP SIDE TO THAT HEAT THOUGH
BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY I CAN THINK TO GET WARM IS TO HOLD MY WRISTS OVER AN OPEN FLAME
OR MAYBE SOAK THEM IN MY OWN HOT RED BLOOD
EITHER WAY IM GAINING HIGH TEMPS RIGHT??
IM ONLY DOING WHAT I MUST TO SUPPRESS THE COLD
DON'T LET MY ICY WINDS CUT YOUR CHEEKS AND TURN YOU RED
IF I COULD BUILD YOU A FIRE I WOULD BECAUSE ITS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR HAPPY, IMPORTANT THAT YOUR NO LONGER COLD
