Cold

Life has made you

Dark, cold and sad

I see how

You would rather stand in the rain

Than bask in the glow

Of the sun

And if only one

Could take your hand

Take you away

To somewhere safe

You would go

In a moment

A flash

But one second has passed

And you are still here

Staring at your shadow

Wondering why only darkness

Seems to follow you

When you used to be

So full of promise and hope

And now

You barely know how to cope

With the hand you have been dealt

And every feeling has been felt

You would rather feel nothing

Than the pain that consumes you
