Numb

My blood is running cold.

Coagulating into a thick consistency of dread and monotony.

As if my own blood is crying sharp icicles.

Or maybe it is a single person snowed in

unfortunately trapped within the enclosure of a crevasse

for a lonely eternity to follow.

But I do not understand why

for it is summer.

My blood should be hot.

Burning my skin from the inside out.

As if my soulmate's touch has left burn marks in its trail.

Leaving me with beautiful scars as a reminder of their love.

But my blood is running cold.

Perhaps, it is frozen

and I have yet to thaw myself out.
