Burning

Your touch is a warmth

that shoots through every vein

every nerve

my hands,

always cold

start to sweat

but you let me go

to get home to her

and i’m left shivering

do you feel it too?

it snows in my bedroom

while hers is a heated paradise

i’m turning off the light

calling it a night

hours feel like years

until I see your face again

and smile that tired smile

wondering what you whispered in her ear

the night before
