Don't go cold

I couldn't stand it.

Don't go cold

I demand it.

Stay with me

I need to read your story

Etched in acid.

Intractable and sad. 

Your mind's too deep

My brain's too shallow

You tell me I'm young

You tell me I'm callow.

I can read your face

The lines talk to me

Of indifference, shame

Bitterness at losing out

A chance to have been 

Someone.

Don't go cold 

I know you're old

I'm alright with it

Don't fight it

Just stay

I'll warm your freezing toes

Have a drink on me

Lemon and hot water.

I heard it helps

With arthritis.
