Chilled Valentine

Hello? Are you in there?
It’s me, I am here.
Can you hear me?
Or does the blood in your ears prevent the sound?

So many different ways to hurt,
Yet this one kills me above all.
Feelings pound through my senses.
Until I am overwhelmed by nothingness.

Too many faces in this crowd.
Too many sins to forgive
Too many gravestones, too many tears.
Too many crosses to bear.

Scars etched in skin and bone.
Filth upon the ground.
Fire inside your eyes.
Yet, ice upon your heart.

You do not care for me.
Or for anyone.
You care only for the lives your breathe takes.
And forthe pain of those left in the wake of your despair.

You say you don’t need help.
You say all you need is life.
But whose life will you be taking?
Yours? Or theirs?

You are my chilled valentine.
Hot like fire, burn like ice.
You kill me with your touch.
Yet I cannot keep away from you.
