Cold Love

Seems your heart has frozen and your love you have taken, 
breaking my heart taking my devotion, my time, and my emotions. 
Leaving nothing but feelings of ice cold love. 

Did I go wrong in giving you companionship, 
Sharing laughter, joy, gladness, sorrow, and pain? 
Did I love too soon, too deep, too humane? 

My cold love, when did you get so frigid, 
Is it when I whispered sweet words into your ear? 
When I hug you tight and played in your hair? 
When you laid in my lap and we peered into each other’s eyes,  
where I saw forever for you and me? 

I miss you my friend, my companion, my love, 
Missing your arms around me, holding me sincere. 
Your warm love draping my inner core, 
making me feel so secure. 

Cold love, will you not return to us, 
to embrace, to bond, to share our sweet forever more.
