My Blood Ran Cold

My blood ran cold,
and so did my heart.
Tell me something;
Do you love me?
Will you always love me?
Do I love you?
The answer is no.

My blood ran cold, 
and at that moment,
I knew something happened...
Mysoul left my body.
My heart stopped beating.
And I was forcefully taken from the world.
My body went limp.

Don't let this smile fool you,
don't let my eyes decieve you,
unless that's what you want.
Don't let what I say trick you,
I could've been gone 3 seconds ago, because this second you're reading, 
          the next one you're thinking, and this one you're finally reacting.
Yesterday you scared me,
I was so frightened; I blame myself.

I rushed to you,
I was terrified.
Tears filled my eyes.
You're stronger than that
I can't explain it.
I've already lost someone close to me,
I was afraid I was gonna loose you too...

The night ran dark,
and the air ran cold.
My body went numb,
and my mind went blank.
My needs started to change,
as the rain gradually fell.
Did I even want to go home?

No.
I never want to go back.
And one day?
I never will.
I promise.
One day I'll leave.
And never return.
