Winter and Steaming Coffee

Running Cold

Deep inside, the words made her fear

What it was like, to know the outside world

Finding a way to ignore the lies

And trying too hard to come around

She laid on the ground, unable to get back up

Her feet were knocked out from under her

Her blood was running cold, 

So she shivered in the dark for many nights

Her tears might as well have been blood--

The life that sustained her, what was real

And until that blood finally spilt out

When she'd cried so much she couldn't anymore--

When she couldn't feel that blood;

Her body ran cold, 

Just like those late nights, of

The frozen life she left.
