I'm no grammar perfectionist and rather focus on the story to be honest, but I still want to hear what you guys thought! Thanks!
These walls are cold,
Although it's spring.
Trapped in this winter,
Seeking some heat.
I once was warm beneath your sleeve,
Even if if was negative 20 degrees.
Now that fire has been hit by a storm
And that warmth is extinguished by the ice cold breeze.
Although it may seem like a terrible thing ,
I've found a solution to heal my agony.
I hide under my cold blanket, every single night,
To heal my burns from the scorching light.
It may hurt now,
It may hurt forever,
But as long as I've got this blanket,
I can lay here and think about us together.
