Someone to Keep Out the Cold – Friday 24th September 2010

Someone to Keep Out the Cold

you dressed up feelings
in the guise of love
but love is never so fickle
i watched you hold it
and through your fingers, trickle
you made claim,
that we could reach the end
and claim first prize
but the starting pistol never fired
and the race just died
you put on a look
and tried to say,
that we could be special
but your feelings are transferable
and nothing cheapens as much
it feels quite unbearable
yet again i find
that people need,
but need in that moment
at that moment in time
back to being a jigsaw piece
feels like going back in time
of your brave new world
i just think it is not love
just someone to keep out the cold
