January Nights
January nights are so cold.
Underneath the covers,
The feeling is the same.
The warmth of a touch gone,
Leaves me freezing in solitude,
While you lay beside me.

What am I supposed to do?
How can this be real?
Tell me, how do I live without love?

Can't you see the fire inside?
Aching to be held,
My body calls out to you.
Can't you hear me anymore?
Every minute feels like a year.
These neverending nights
Are so cold.
