now i need something else
        to keep the cold away
for your arms aren't wrapped around me anymore
and my nerves and veins are
        frozen;
blood rushing to my head while i
        try to think again:
the emptiness has affected my brain
my tongue is tied to itself;
        it misses yours
and my lips have stuck together;
        no need to part...

part.

i am falling
apart.

your arms aren't wrapped around me anymore;
my pieces are crumbling
like a broken vase.
a new crack appears every time you enter my mind -
unwanted. sent to a charity shop.
waiting for someone with the correct glue
to take me;
to seal the open wounds
of wear and carelessness.
I have been unwrapped.

Raw and heartfelt. I like how you bridge "part" to "falling apart".
