cold

if this is the way

of your cold finger

cold ear.

turn it away from me.

all that i have given and

all that i don't deserve,

all because i didn't want

you to be alone.

i can tell sometimes

you are afraid when

you're alone.

but there is a difference

between being along by

choice and being alone

because you cannot be with

others.

i think you have taken

the latter and made it

your reason.

but we both know

you are never alone.

and that is why you

are giving me the cold

shoulder. you don't want to see.
