I can’t change how you feel

I can’t change how you feel

 

Your rejection is ice.

A freeze injected into my bloodstream;

a domino ripple into each vessel

one by one

surrendering

to your

cold,

shattering

my

fragile

soul.

 

I can’t stop the cold.

My whole self shivering,

my being, crumbling.

When did I give you this power?

When did I become,

so very weak?

rejected

numb

so small,

I mean

nothing

at

all

'Parting is such sweet sorrow!' came to mind as I read this.  I like the way you set it out,  it tumbles from the heart on to the page.  Good work.  Jenny.

Hello Jenny :-) Thanks for commenting... yes, sweet sorrow after sorrow, after sorrow since I was 13 ... doesn't seem right to experience it for 20 years, no sweet left...  Yay! Glad the layout works - cool beans. Have a great weekend $

Hi Shannan. The melting icicle form and cold cold words cut into my soul too.  I shivered with you. Brilliant.
