Heat

My melting point,
is your voice and words
Calling my name
my molecules twist and turn. 

My boiling point,
is your searing touch;
my vapors disintegrating,
in your thermal clutch

I begin to slide down my cooling curve,
when your heat is transferred elsewhere

I begin to reach my ice point, 
your absence bringing in the cold air 

The solid I've become,
cold to the touch,
longing for heat,
longing for love.
