Like dry ice on Skin

Love What am I to do?
The more I try
The harder it is
Do you know why?
You keep telling me
You need time
That you love me
But you’re not mine
All the while
This strain on my heart
Keeps beating
Without a start
You tug a little more
Pull at my strings
Stretch my heart more
But give it no wings
So I sit here
Tapered to the wall
Waiting patiently
For your call
As you run your life
Without me
Expect me to wait
But you don’t see
You’re taking my love
For granted
Expecting that
You’ll have it
Without hesitation
I keep giving
Not knowing
How you’re living
So what am I to do?
As you’re running around
Leaving me askew
Casting me to the ground
This time I can’t
Don’t think you know
You’re causing
The last blow
My heart can take
Before it shatters
Pretty soon
It won’t even matter
To me
What you’re doing
How you are
Where you’re going
Without me
Cause I won’t dare
Anymore
I won’t even care
This is what happens
When you love so much
Without any return
Without touch
So keep giving me
Nothing and watch
As my heart bakes to stone
Leaving it cold for no one else to clutch
Will feel like
Dry ice on skin
Next time you try
To touch it again
