Remember you...

The first time is always the best

And I'll never forget, the black
Glassy look in your eyes, when you
Became someone I didn't know, when
Your words ran cold, and it thinned my
Blood, the air chilled around us, surrounding
Me, and you, in this aura, like winter, like December,
Cold, so unlike you, emanating from you, destroying
The warmth I'd grown so accustomed to, I'll never forget
How cold you were to me, when you so heartlessly spat
Those cruel words in my face, destroying me inside, and you
Stand there so stoically, like I never meant a thing, and I'll never
Forget your pale complexion, like ice, like you'd been frozen from
The inside, like your heart had stopped beating, and I'll never forget
How you closed your eyes on me, how you turned away, how you could
Just walk away, leaving me to stand there, I'll never forget how you left me
With this unbearable weight on my chest, I'll never forget how I cried every
Single night, and still do, how you continued to walk in a robotic fashion before
Disappearing in the distance, and the blur of my tears, leaving me feeling cold
And wounded, I'll never forget the way you changed, your internal organs frozen
Over in a fine glaze of ice, your heart slowly rotting away, your former-self freezing
Below all the ice, succumbing to the numbness that engulfs who you were, as cold as
Space, as empty and black as the void between stars, or icy water at night, your white
Corpse drifting to the bottom of the darkness, passing away from an existence where we
Were one, how your half of the heart just grew cold and broke apart from mine, I'll never let
Myself forget that, you seemed so cool, so fine with it, and all the warmth has drained from
Me, through every hot tear I've shedded, but I'll never let myself forget, no matter how cold you
Become, no matter what happens, no matter how long I have to live without you, I'll never forget
The loving person you used to be, and that warm smile when you first said "I love you"...
