Dull

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers
Into your arms
I melt like wax,
thaw like ice
on an August day.
 
The pleasure
I feel when
I am with you
dulls internal pain.
 
It's just temporary,
a transient touch
that gives relief
for a short while.
 
When you depart,
my body freeezes up,
and my heart
becomes a stone.
