Dalila

Cold,
Was the look in her eyes
When their eyes first met

Cold,
Was the skin of her palm
When he first held her hand

Cold,
Was the touch of her lips
When they first kissed

Cold, 
Was the brush of her skin
When he felt it with his fingertips

She siphoned his warmth
And left him shivering
When she stepped out for her next rodeo.
