You are shivering,
Wearing a leather jacket.
You love to be cold.

I'm guessing that "cold" at the end is referring to the person's character? Their pattern in relationships?

Otherwise, this is a poem about nothing.

The cold theme is overdone. With the exception of the leather jacket line, every line (and that includes the title) is reiterating that it's cold. Repeating yourself wastes space in such a short poem.

Wearing a leather jacket. So why is the leather jacket significant? What does it indicate about this person, or about the surroundings? Is it a trap, a superficial attitude, a dead cow...?

Huh
