tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

this december is not as cold as i remember
but it hurts
not being able to numb out the worst

we're making muffins
and sipping coffee
and talking about how deep we are

then we sit around
to paint our art
expressing how free we are

these golden chains
they freeze away
reiterating how clean we are

december is cold
but nobody knows
how thankful we are

with our bright pink nose
and chapped lips
i miss it
