Cold

Why is my bed so cold
It used to be so warm but now it's just old
It was warm before you
So hot when I was with you
And now it's just cold
I never knew how lonely a bed could be
They always say a bed has a welcoming warmness
But now it's just cold and lonely

Why is my bed so cold
Even when I had the nightmares, it was never this cold
When I startle awake, it'd me warm and comfort me
It was never so cold
My pillow is always so cold and wet

Why is my bed so cold
I curl into my fetal position to trap my warmth
I would have thought that I'd cry more from the nightmares
But nothing is as scary as the coldness that my bed has taken in

Why is my bed so cold
I can't sleep with my pillow anymore
It's too soaked from my tears
The blankets are so thin
I'd almost think they weren't there is i could feel the burden of their weight

Why is my bed so cold
My blankets don't help anymore and I'm stuck in this cold
The only way I can escape the cold is to sleep
They tell me yo stop being lazy
But I'm not lazy
I'm just cold

Why is my bed so cold
I can't seem to be awake anymore
Everything is just a dream
I'm freezing from the inside out
The cold began at my heart
Now I can't see
I can't walk

Why is my bed so cold
My body only thaws when I'm near you
I can only see around you
My mind is freezing
I don't want to go to sleep this way
I worry I won't wake up this time
