Cold Hand

So cold and alone,

I stand here on my own,

Waiting for you to call me on the phone,

But no more will I do it,

No more will I put myself through it,

I love you and that much should be clear,

But I will not let this become the fear,

The fear that drowns me and drives me to just one more beer,

The fear that binds me, destroys me and darkens my soul,

The fear that kills me, breaks me and turns my heart black as coal,

I will stay strong, pure and true to my cause,

No matter how many times you point out my flaws,

So cold and alone I stand....

Wondering all the while if you'll ever reach out and take my hand....
