Cold
I was so cold
I was so cold when you told me your dad was dead
You leaned across me and
You pointed to his name on my laptop screen.
Your cologne stuck and burned the back of my throat.
My hands are so cold
You look so warm and I'm so cold
I want to wrap myself in you
I want you to be what I breathe every yesterday.
It was too warm.
The air was too thick and I was too warm.
Too warm to wear sweatpants
But I didn't wear shoes.
You didn't laugh but I laughed enough for us both.
I could be warm if I wrapped myself in you
I was so cold when you told me your dad was dead
You leaned across me and
You pointed to his name on my laptop screen.
Your cologne stuck and burned the back of my throat.
My hands are so cold
You look so warm and I'm so cold
I want to wrap myself in you
I want you to be what I breathe every yesterday.
It was too warm.
The air was too thick and I was too warm.
Too warm to wear sweatpants
But I didn't wear shoes.
You didn't laugh but I laughed enough for us both.
I could be warm if I wrapped myself in you
