Cold

My loneliness burns cold and deep

An endless brew left now to steep

Upon the wandering window's keep

For now she stands in mourning


Be not far from whence I stand

There is a mouth, an arm, a hand

A vaguely vacant contraband

Who cannot shake his scorning


Give me something new to hold

Lest I lose as fear unfolds

And nerve leaves cool from hands so cold

My hands are cold till morning
