The Coldest Feeling


`The coldest feeling`

I’ll never forget the feeling of your cold wretched hands reaching into my chest

The feeling of your below freezing fingers slowly gripping my heart as if it was the only thing that could warm you

As if you’d never want to break it

Just before you decide it’s just not hot enough and tear it in two

Watching the pain spread through my each and every limb 

As my mind becomes paralyzed 

You find there’s no better time to rip away the piece I most desperately need

Because you knew without it one we fully heal.
