i can't stop shivering
is it the cold night air,
or is it you?
i am in your arms again
and it feels so right,
so why can't i stop shaking?
we try to laugh at pointless
statements, trying not to hear
the constant silence.
but there are moments when we
just lie there quiet,
unable to find words for
what is in our heads.
it's so cold outside
even in each others arms, the
chill creeps in and engulfs us.
we try to fight it off
because we know that with this chill
comes cold faces, hands and hearts,
but it is still all around us.
why can't i stop shivering?

Very good poem, pharon.  Sort of stumbles on one or two sentences, but it doesn't take off some of the effect it has.  Keep up the good work.
