The temperature outside is cold
Cold as ice
Like your heart
Whenever I try to thaw yours
You keep on putting it back in your freezer
While you kept playing with mine
And like a child wishing for ice cream inside that tub
Reaching out for feelings of delight
For the hopes of that lasting pleasure
I open to find nothing inside
The temperature outside is cold
Below freezing
The same way I wanted that moment
Frozen
I wanted time to stop
So we can remain like that forever
So realisations won't be realised
So regrets won't be made
Where genuine happiness remained
But as that moment passed by
That moment was just but a moment in time
The temperature outside is cold
Absolute zero
Like your feelings for me
Zilch.
Like your interest in me
None.
Like the time I spent in your thoughts
Nil.
And the love that you offered
Non-existent.
The temperature outside is cold
Dry and crisp
Where the tip of my nose starts feeling funny
Where my ears felt as if they're falling off
The same way I fell for you
But in the midst of the funny feelings of the cold
It wasn't only my fingers that started feeling numb
