"Cold My Sanctuary"
Each falling snowflake
Like a solemn note
On the piano--
Every chord
Is a pain in my heart.
It's too cold to cry.

Enveloped in cold white
And winter clothes--
I'm wondering
What you're doing now--
Trying to figure out
Why you're not here.

This cold is my pain--
This cold is my sanctuary--
If there is nothing else,
There will always be this.
Hurt though it may,
It's the only thing
I dare depend on.

My fingers turn red,
Then numb--
Falling to my knees,
I want to die here
In this home I've made,
Buried inside the cold.

Cold my sanctuary,
Cold my heart--
Nobody can take this away
Except myself.
