Nothing to save me from despair

Holding the blankets close, my soul to keep
In the middle of a brutal arctic freeze sleep
There I found myself unable to even dream
The cold made it feel like I was alone
Back when I spent most of life at home
There was nothing, no one, no bit of hope
Your sweet touch
Your words of love
Gone without a trace
No embrace
Nothing to save me
From despair
