Dormant Volcano

I want to know why

My veins hurt daily

From the caldera

Collapsed inside me

My blood used to run

Perpetually

Magma once felt warm

I want to know why

I became so cold

The warming movement

I no longer feel

My heart used to beat

Affectionately

But my chest lay still

I want to know why

My blood has dried up

Along with my tears

I can't feel your touch

Liquid turned solid

Coagulated

Hardened my vessels

I want to know why

Lava turned to rock

I want to know how

My heart ceased to pump

I want to know when

I will feel warm again
