The Chill of Your Touch

I feel a chill in your kiss... like the cold, February wind that rushes through my veins Oh, how I long for the soft tenderness of your caress which has now become strangely vacant Your warm embrace seems to have lost its fire and you no longer stroke my face while I sleep Suddenly... The warmth is gone from your touch I swallow the pain down inside not wanting to notice our bridge may be burning Why can't you just say it-instead of pulling away? Do the risks seem too high to take a chance? The painful words in my soul bring tears to my eyes We used to find love in quiet, hidden places You without pity - I without shame Who has taken my place... Entered my space? How could I have known you'd tire of me so? Will you no longer stand by my side? Together... we could make things right But... your silence is so deafening Raindrops pour their waters washing away my hopes, singing a melancholy song of lost hope - of disappearing dreams I lift my face to the darkened sky feeling the rain slide down my cheeks Staring into emptiness as my heart cries out in silent pain blinding me from the light I feel so lost without you But then I realize... You never really found me Now my heart says... Where do I go from here? Oh God... Tell me - where do I go from here _________________________________________________________________________
