I remember the day you laid beside me, sharing my warmth in the cold dark room, lit by a tiny green light.
Fingers laced, my arms around your waist,
I held you tight as you shivered from the emptiness inside you.

I lent you a shoulder that night.
And that was all I ever was, I guess.
A shoulder, for the moment.

Now I lay in the same stark darkness, without the tiny green light.
Pain in my chest and rain in my thoughts.
A black and white melody plays in my head, soothing my spirit.
I lay alone, in the darkness,
Cold.
