Like ice
by Charles R Adkins
I'd kiss you
And run my fingers through your hair
I'd lie awake in bed
Your smell lingering on me
Wondering if you were thinking of me too
When I left you said you would wait for me
Funny my parents knew before I did
It was cold in the woods that night
But you were colder inside
I still love you
But you left me and didn't tell me why
Funny how I can still hear your voice
Maybe that's just a way of remembering
Remembering when love was so gracious
Gracious enough to kill me slowly from the inside
Turning me bitter and tainting my smile
Just like those plastic people we all hate
Just like most people really are
