Burning

I can't remember a time where you were there
to share my tears of pain or joy.
All of our memories now seem so far away -
replaced with distance and silence.

You don't understand how much this is killing me inside -
I'm turning into ice.
I will never forget the coldness of that last hug,
that empty touch that sliced my heart like a shredder.

I keep expecting to hear from you soon,
and each time these silent echoes burn my heart
like gasoline;
I guess that's the price I pay for loving you.

You don't understand how much I need you still.
Please don't turn your back on me,
it is burning me like hell,
and I am scared I won't make it
out of this pain alive.
