Have You Ever Missed the Warmth?

By Severus Snape

Have you ever missed the warmth?

Felt cold, even in the sweltering heat.

Hunger and thirst surpassed by your need of it?

Not the heat afforded by a furnace,

But the warmth of love.

Have you ever tried to fight it?

Found comfort in a friend's hug, a mother's kiss,

Only to have the hallow cold creep back ten fold?

Do you dream of dancing within love's fire,

To feel the liquid flames melt the ice, fill the void.

Have you ever felt it so close, sure you had found it?

Only to have mistaken lust for love?

Found, in the cold gray of morning,

The short burning passion a poor substitute?

Do you pray for it as you lay there, aching from the cold?

Have you ever missed the warmth?

Like? well then review.
