Cold, Lifeless, Hurting

Here I am,
Wrapped in your embrace,
Safe, warm, happy.
Always happy when I'm with you.

Cold, lifeless, hurting,
Arms pull you away,
All that is left is a cold shell of what I used to be,
No one cares.

There you are,
Put at arms length,
I reach for you but you are pulled away,
Evil laughter rings out.

I cry,
Looking for a way to get you back,
I see nothing,
I'm dead without you.

You stand above me,
Reaching your hand out, waiting for me to take it,
You help me up,
I smile . . . You came back for me.
