Lifeless

My room is cold
As is your touch
You feel like a corpse
As your hand runs over my own
I silently wish we could trade places
I wished I could lie cold and unfeeling
Six feet under
I wished you felt as helpless I felt
As worthless
As hallow
An empty shell of what used to be human
I slowly realize that we are not meant to trade
We are one in the same
That I had become what I had dreamed of
And yet, I was unhappy
I could not smile
I could not savor it
My companion
You and I will stay together
The dirt feels warm against my skin
I'm surprised I can feel at all
