Somewhere in the distance Somewhere out in the cold Somewhere far far away Somewhere on your way Somewhere it was icky Somewhere it was sticky Somewhere in the situation Somewhere but "I'm sorry" Somewhere "maybe next time" Somewhere just "not right now" Somewhere I'll tell you later Somewhere beyond hello Somewhere past goodbye Somewhere in your presence Somewhere in your absence Somewhere in the noise Somewhere in the silence Somewhere in the darkness Somewhere in the void I fell out of love with you.

somewhere in the void
Your back is turned to me And I am freezing cold But I won't cover up, Hoping your warm arms will reach out to me again

cold shoulder
These warm sheets cradle me with memories of last night. I can sense you -- your baren body in the same sheets as mine. These 12 inches between us feel like miles -- back to back. Couldn't you just hold me for a little? This ice on my shoulder is starting to burn The crystals grow to form a protective coat That resemble the stalagmites in my cavernous heart. Eyes glazed over, the warm sheets rustle and your sweet breath grazes my neck. Your soft lips on my jaw line and a wondering hand on my thigh, Yet I remain as frigid as the ice on my skin. When you're quite finished, you'll leave me with agitated sighs. I'll remain and slowly waste away in warm sheets, crystallized skin protecting the embers of the girl within.
