Cold

I picture you near me
though you're so far away.
The nights are cold
and days so lonely.

Empty can't explain how I feel.
Since you left
I can't get anything right.
I want to make amends
but you won't listen.
I won't force you to come back to me

or even to listen,

but won't you just give me a chance?
