the heat would fill your cheeks
and stain your skin the color of roses
when the sharp words
dug into your veins

the cold would crawl up your spine
with freezing fingers the color of snow
and intentions as frigid as
your heart

the numbing silence spread in the space
between you and him
like an ugly tablecloth
that nobody wanted

the rain would gather in your eyes
and he'd take a sharp inhale
when he saw your tears
knowing it'd be the last time he'd see you cry
