The bed is cold, my love
Space drifting farther along with time
Your breath only bites my skin
Of where your lips have been.
But your touch burns red in streaks
Kiss pollutes me with this disease
Of codependence on absence.
Your voice is different now, a change in pace
As I run out in hopes to save the last remnant of me.
The masks are on, words are drawn
Into our backs.
Too close to what I love the most
He told me to stand on my own two feet
When he broke every bone.
Cornered and scared, I could only dare
To find my way out.
To find myself again.
It’s so cold out there,
You closed the doors.
Taste of what I’ll never have
To leave me wanting more.
All I needed was warmth:
A smile, a touch.
But you said
I loved you too much.
