I remember how your body used to feel 

As my head laid upon your chest

The beat of your heart kept time to my thoughts 

As your warm skin lulled me to rest 

I remember the day your words cut me open

Like when butter kisses a heated knife 

What once was a blanket in the heat of a storm 

All comforts replaced with strife 

I remember how my pillow began to feel 

When it flipped to the opposite side 

I counted the seconds between urges to call  

If nothing else, I had my pride 

Curled in on myself, desperate for warmth 

Yet I seemed to get colder still 

You greedily took all the warmth when you 

Left me nothing, save for this chill
