Frost Bite

I’m so cold.

It’s barely mild outside,

Good old-fashioned Midwestern weather,

But I’m cold down to my bones.

I put on sweaters and coats,

Layers and layers,

But nothing seems to help.

I think the problem isn’t the weather.

The cold is inside of me.

It’s pushing itself from the inside out.

You were the only thing that ever

Kept me warm.
