How Cold Is the Air We Breath

The world is as cold as the humans inside it

Breathing their cold words and exhaling their death

Feeding the universe their souls which were born to be warming

Though most of forget how to be warm allowing others cold hearted ways

Only those who care enough not to speak of the pain the feel

Nor spreading the coldness they had been taught was the only human emotion 

The ones who can not speak of this cold have given their last final breath

They were not all given a fair enough chance to breath warmth 

For the coldness they tried to avoid pinned them up against the walls

As the others just watched, without so much as wanting to warm them

Forever knowing just how cold the world truly is, even through their final breath of air
