FIRE WENT OUT

When you left me
I walked around
frozen for days...

Frosted breath
strangled by icy tears
that crumbled away to nothing.

Now who will keep me warm
in the frozen wilderness
of my sorrow?

And when we meet again
as enemies
will you still want me?

Are you thinking about me now?

The way I used to cool
the inferno within you...
even as you melted my icy veneer...

"He's with Magneto."

Those words are all that I hear.
