my house is cold.
it's so,
so,
cold.
you leave the door open.
you let the january air in,
i don't have much heat left,
you know this.
you begged to be let in, you said you were cold, and on your way in you didn't close the door.
i was starting to warm up since the spring you left,
and you came back, and now i'm oh so cold and i wonder;
why did i even let you in in the first place?
