Down

Down I go again,
trapped inside this memory,
and breathing out the cracks just to stay alive.

The ice that separates
your lips from mine,
your face was the last thing I saw
as I drowned in the cold
that soaked to the bone,
and left me craving more.

It was an earthquake
leaving scars all across this road,
my body shakes,
my lips tremble,
and I need you again.

My heart is burning up,
and I need your cool touch
to soothe me again.

I'd rather feel the pain of loving you
than nothing at all.
