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
This entire thing was just cold.
