mellifluous | poetry

in my blood; fifteen

i'm numb
my hands feeling cold like the arctic ice

my sun was dying out
the night sky clouding over,
hiding the bright stars

but you came along
and brought me warmth
as loud as a crackling fire

sometimes i feel like giving up
but i just can't
it isn't in our blood
