Today is one of those nights,

the cold ones.

When the hairs on your flesh are too anxious to settle

your spine
too charged, electrocuting,

when the sweat feels like sparkling water

as for the only heat leaves through your cornea

no warmth is enough,

even the thought of suns embrace feels rather numbing

as for the heaters have ice in their batteries

breathes, voices and silence, all are eerie,

your bones too rigid, your blood too solid,

and everything too weak,

its too hard to even hold on to your own body,

impossible to keep its every cell together

and they truly said,

You cannot burn a frozen heart.

-she breathed in the receiver, as he picked the call on the first ring.
