Cold. Like steel…
As I hold you in my arms, I can't feel the warmth that I once knew.
I have suddenly become like a stranger to you.
Cold and distant.
Why won't you talk to me?
Even as I shed my tears for you, even as I bare my heart to you?
My soul even.
.
Cold. Like Steel…
Still you look at me with a distant gaze,
With Your eyes accusing.
Why won't you talk to me?
Even as I run my fingers through your hair?
No longer do they shimmer in the fading sun, like rubies amidst dying embers.
Your gentle lips gape open as if to say words I longed to hear.
Three small words that would make me complete.
Would make us complete.
Silence.
.
Cold. Like steel…
Memories.
I can still feel the radiance of your skin, the flair in your eyes.
The touch of your lips.
The warmth of your smile
How I long to see you smile once more.
But you just lay there, staring blankly at me.
I hold you closer still, yet you don't hold me back.
.
How can I love someone who won't love me back?
Who won't return my affection?
Who won't even speak to me?
As I let you go, I look at my hands.
Stained with a crimson trail
Like the one running through your back.
Still you lay there
Breathless
Lifeless
.
I begin to walk away,
But still I can feel you staring at me.
With your eyes…
.
Cold. Like steel…
