Cold skin on
cold fat on
cold muscles on
cold bones with 
cold blood pumping
through it all

This summer skin was 
soft and fat was
slim and muscles were
defined and bones were
strong and blood was 
warm

But that all changed in
September

The temperature dropped
slower than your self esteem
and you lost taste in brown 
hair, blue eyes and
collarbones
and I lost taste in mustaches
and being lied to

Your frost covered 
me and has kept
me alive
and I'm just sitting
here watching 
the hypothermia
set in on you
and you think 
the new warmth is 
saving you

How naive

Soon your skin
will be cold
and your fat
will be cold
and your muscles
will be cold
and your bones
will be cold
with cold regret
pumping 
through it all
