There's a Coldness on My Chest

There's a coldness on my chest

Left by the words you breathe

Heavy and deep

I'm unable to weep

 

There's a fire in my soul

Left by your betrayal

Bright and consuming

There's no continuing

 

There's a darkness in my heart

Left by your swift fist

Dauntless and uncaring

I'm no longer daring

 

There's a bleakness to my day

Left by your void

Magnetic and bitter

I've become the quitter

 

There's a coldness on my chest

Left by your quick escape

Immobilizing and unending

My love I'm no longer sending
