Fire & Ice.

Is it the rain that I hear falling?

Or merely my insanity calling?

Each little shred of dignity,

Has been washed out of me.

Your lips on mine, what is going on?

This is slowly becoming a marathon.

I feel you touch me, I can feel your heat.

What is this you are doing to me?

My sense flies out of the window.

It floats away and lands in the fresh snow.

Fresh like your words gently caressing my spirit.

I still can't believe we ended up like this....

Your words are fire, mine are ice.

The passion burns; painfully, but nice.

We tear each other apart with our sharp teeth.

Then you hold me close as we both weep...

I need you now, breathe you in like air.

You kiss my neck, run your fingers through my hair.

I've lost my argument, lost all my words.

Lost in your eyes, quickly losing the hurt.

I know this isn't how it's supposed to be.

Right or wrong? How's it right when you're not with me?

Boundary lines, they don't exist here.

My heart beats quicker as you start to come near...

Your words are fire, mine are ice.

The passion burns; painfully, but nice.

We tear each other apart with our sharp teeth.

Then you hold me close as we both weep...

You hurt me so damn easily.

Yet you hold the magic key.

You break me down, and build me up.

Over-dramatic? It's still not enough.

Secret love hidden behind the lies.

They don't know what I see when I gaze into your eyes.

I left myself back in your over-used bed. 

I am now a part of the walking dead.

Let myself fall and you forgot to catch me.

You were too busy making up a story.

I'm bruised, but I'm not done with the fight.

I will win, using all my might...

Your words are fire, mine are ice.

The passion burns; painfully, but nice.

We tear each other apart with our sharp teeth.

Can't you see that you're breaking me?

Who is the one that wins, and who loses?

The winner comes out with all the bruises.

In this game of love, it looks like I've won.

But I've really lost, because now you are gone...

Hard for fire and ice to be close for too long. Opposites can create two points of view with no winners.
"Your words are fire, mine are ice.
The passion burns; painfully, but nice."
I like the story in this poem. It is good to test life and see where it may lead? Thank you for a excellent poem.

Oooh! I just love this. I love the flow of it, like a song. How one stanza of the poem repeats, twice the same and the third time a little differently. I really like the contrast in it: two people in love, yet each polar opposites. How love is usually represented in happiness and joy, but how this shows the underlying parts of it- the arguments, the fights, the struggles. And the end has got to be my favorite part...

It's like, it doesn't really matter who wins and who loses. What matters is the love that was there, and that is now gone...
love this!

The good & bad of a relationship. Beautifully done, and painfully written! I enjoyed reading this and was captured from the beginning!

What a beautifully written poem of love and a love lost. Excellent title!! I really enjoyed reading this. It definitely could have fit a time in my life. It took me right back there too. Well done!

Wow, this is the perfect love/breakup poem because it's not corny at all. Good work, I love this poem.

Really great write. Love the last two lines. Truly there is no winner. Keep on penning.
