I Am Cold

Noted Nest

By Apoorva


I have sun but I am cold

I lay under a blanket, I am still cold

Put on a coat, it's freezing

It's June and am freezing

The fire place doesn't warm me up

I eventually found warmth in winters

It's cold but it stays

My eyes don't gleam anymore

I guess cold does that to them

My lips don't curve upwards

I guess cold does that to them

People glow golden around me

For some reason I hate it

I still keep watching though.

A stranger's smile stopped the snow

I look up and clouds move away

I look down and grass covered my feet

My eyes get moist

My lips curl up

It was an awkward autumn 

But it was warm

The coming days were golden

Even when sun didn't shine

I still had my light besides me

I want to get blinded by it

Cold that consumed me now only visits in December.
