lights surround the imperturbable fortress in
the gloom of the glacial night
eyes pierce through the dark and into your soul as your hands
wrap around a secret affair
your mind races and your heart palpitates and raises into your
closing throat
their hands as cold as ice, interlace with yours as your nerves
combust and release mist into the night
the lights dim
your eyes strain to focus
you're brushing up against monsters of the night
you start to lose your way
your mind spins into iniquity
the hand you once held has long since vanished
your body is numb
is this what love is like?
