Love Poem: Iced Love

Iced Love

A breath is stolen from me
One I do so regret
Your tears were phony
And my sanity I must fret

A cold lipped embrace
Leaves me riddled with shame
A malignant chase
Always riddled with pain
I chase the days of blue
Leaving behind my past
Putting into words of you
Among things that will never last

I feel the familiar warmth of he
A constant, blazing memory
The Cold spot he left
Upon my yearning chest
His fingers leave marks upon my soul
An endless, echoing pull
I hear this heart of mine 
Beating with a melancholy whine

A sharp sting upon my gaze
My mind reeling through this maze
Shall I love?  Shall I perish?
In the end, all is garish,
Gnarled bones fit into empty sockets
Leave us to refer to our lockets
Rusted, faded, memories of old
No one ever told me love would feel so cold
