Oh wow....Cold is definitely the perfect title for this piece.
To me, at least, you are describing an abusive relationship and you have done a fantastic job of doing so.
I only have two suggestions.
1- I would add the word "of" to the line "And walk out the miserable house,".
2- I would suggest using less common words as descriptors throughout the piece. It would give more strength and depth.
So many memories and emotions came forward as I read this. That in and of itself is an accomplishment as few have managed to affect me with their writing in this way. KUDOS!! My only suggestion would be to write out the contractions to give more power to your words and the emotion tat is ever so slightly lost there.
To lose oneself in the love of another...such a sweet, sweet blessing and yet a curse when it is gone and we are left longing for it to shelter us once more.
