Skin So Cold (Poem)

Caressing my fingers down your arm

You’re skin so cold

My touch so warm

I shiver as my lips touch yours

A gentle kiss

Filled with remorse

I gaze upon you with loving eyes

Your eyes hold nothing

This is no surprise

For your very soul

Your inner light

Has long since dimmed

Long since died

And as I gaze upon your face

You’re such a vision of perfection

Such a horrible waste

With a last lingering kiss

I close the lid

A tear slides down my cheek

As I start to dig
