by maria-cordero

If it was 10 degrees warmer I would take a midnight walk To the corners of the city And weep silently If it was 5 degrees warmer I would take a midnight run To the edge of town And profess my want of your touch If it was 5 degrees colder My legs would buckle And my I would crumble down From my beating heart But this is the temperature I know So I don't walk to ease my fears I don't run to greet your lovely face And I don't fall under the weight of my world Instead I keep true to home and stay On the edge of emotion Swallowing my tears Waiting for something to topple over
