Inside My Head

Tales of A Past Boyfriend

Your fingertips set fire to my skin
wherever you touched me.
It filled me with an overwhelming sense of safety.
The warmth hit me like a wildfire on ice and
even after you were gone I could feel the indent of your grasp
on my skin. 
Your soft lips against mine was the only medication
I would have needed for my sadness.
Your arms around me could have shielded me from
the strongest of storms.
Your presence protected me from all the evil in the world
that could do me wrong.
The light in your eyes illuminated the darkness inside
and all around me,
and that's how I knew that you were the only one that
I would have ever needed.
