Cold Comfort
by
Chaya Anavi
Freezing on this winter night
I'm cold.
Wishing I could just take flight
up and out of this world.
The only pieces are the ashes
of my love you burned.
Thinking of your sweet smile
I miss
The times we had.
Though I used to sink in your kiss,
Remorse fits nicely in my pocket
Because you said no than yes.
Moping on this street
I wonder
How I'll get some sleep.
Idly I ponder
If I'll find one new to keep
Already I've surrendered.
Because I know that eyes
don't lie
When they say it's over
With a simple goodbye
They walk away
I couldn't be much colder.
Reeking of a broken gift
I swat at
My soul which hovers,
Trying to get my heart to lift
A maniac
Seeking four-leaf clovers.
Heavy from the weight
Of rejection
From the perfect mate.
Speaking of dejection
I found its taste
In the trash can where I was dumped
At least cold offers some protection
From grieving to just numb,
And missing your affection,
From weeping to feeling none.
Glad to have sorrow's sanction
Still I wish I had someone.
Still I wish I had someone.
Because I feel I can't go on.
Knowing our relationship is done.
At least cold offers some protection
From grieving to just numb.
