It's Cold

There’s a coldness in my bones, even though it’s hot outside.

Goosebumps disguise the sweat that boils from within.

My hairs are on end from a frozen fear that rattles me.

Can it be that I’ll ever feel warm again?

Can anything melt away the layers of ice years formed on this girl?

Instead…

Shivers down my spine, from my burning head to my throbbing feet.

Unable to move, let me curl up in my body heat under the quilt.

And watch the hot vapour of my breath… Freeze in the world’s air.
