It is Cold, in My Room

It is cold, in my room.
Cool air circulated by fans
caresses my body.
It captures my warmth
and slyly carries it away.

It is cold, in my room.
The air between my roomate
and me is frozen
We refuse to talk about
the elephant in the room.

It is cold, in my room.
The temperature drops
degree by degree.
The breeze is strong,
causing me to shiver.

It is cold, in my room.
Silence fills the space,
cold politeness is false.
We now dislike each other,
she makes me miserable.

It is Cold, in My Room.
