cold nights

The skin chills
as the heart stills.
Lost in memories
of warmer days.
when you were laying here
beside me.
I'd lay awake
and listen to you breath.
As I gradually
drift off to sleep.
Now I lay here
all alone.
Everything precious
has gone.
Just cold nights and memories.
Left to haunt me
in my dreams.
cold sweat
awaking screams.
of memories long gone it seems.
all is cold
no warmth to be found.
cold nights silence is so loud.
I suffer the cold
till they lay me in the ground.
cold nights is all
I have left to hold.
With memories
that make the heart pound.
I have learned
to love the cold.
