Rising Temperatures

I stay

stagnant

my joints frozen

my bones turn to grey

ashes

that got whisked away

as you ran by

your footsteps

to me instead were melodies

rhythms that melted the ice

as my joints rotate

and my body dances

more footsteps

different melodies

but they were running too fast

meanwhile you were walking

I sped up

to hear the different melodies

to melt the ice quicker

I thought I could come back

slow down again

but alas

I got caught in the runners' high

the warmth

of a larger flame

little did I know

the brighter it burns

the faster it goes out

what I failed to realise was that

it meant I would also end

I thought I could come back

but I ended up leaving

I hope you remember my rhythm

for as long as you burn bright

I know I did

till my dying light.
