Dear Warmth

Where have you gone?
I miss you daily.
I reminisce about feeling you at dawn...
comfort...a lost cause now.

You left me...

stranded, naked, disdain.
Please don't misunderstand me, it's not that I can't survive...
Because baby, I'm alive.
I have to be...to be able to feel this pain...
Warmth how can you be so vain?

To come and go as you please...
Disregard everyone, only fulfill YOUR needs.
I was on my knees...
Warmth, I thought I needed you more than ever.

This was not a one-night stand, not a sexual endeavor...
when we cuddle, I take in your scent
smelled like forever.

At least that's what I thought...
now you're nothing more than a thought...

Just leave...
Warmth, just leave me alone!
Why can't I leave you alone...
distance got me thinking...it's not the same on the phone.

You're out of reach now...
far removed from my fingertips...
far removed from my lips...
far removed from my kiss...
it wasn't supposed to end like this...

Dear Warmth, I don't need you anymore.
