The heat radiating
From my burns
Is enough to keep me warm
Once you've left the room.
Maria Cordero Apr 2014
If it was 10 degrees warmer
I would take a midnight walk
To the corners of the city
And weep silently

If it was 5 degrees warmer
I would take a midnight run
To the edge of town
And profess my want of your touch

If it was 5 degrees colder
My legs would buckle
And my I would crumble down
From my beating heart

But this is the temperature I know
So I don't walk to ease my fears
I don't run to greet your lovely face
And I don't fall under the weight of my world

Instead I keep true to home and stay
On the edge of emotion
Swallowing my tears
Waiting for something to topple over

— The End —
