Coldness settles in my bones
it's thoughts of you that keep me warm,
Though all alone I sit and think
pondering into yesterday.
It makes no sense to punish myself
for making a mistake,
I can not shake this cold that settles
leaving me to lie awake.
What ifs no longer matter,
so much time has passed away
the distance creates bitterness
of mind games we used to play
questions reveal no answers
still waiting for you to say
The words behind your feelings
which you revealed to me that day.
Your face a distant memory
imprinted in my soul
your words forever haunt me
wherever I may go
Emotional walls around me
keeping pain away
no longer can you hurt me
these walls are here to stay.
I think many people will identify with these words, Trace... I know I do! Love it! Kev.
You explained your emotions so well and took me on a journey to the end where 'no longer can you hurt me, these walls are here to stay. A very sensitive and meaningful poem. 10 Karin Anderson
Great one Trace. You have that amazing quality of expression, and the ability to tip it out onto paper. I truly love your work. Once hurt, the barriers go up for inner protection. The real victims are the ones who have no defences. Best Steve
This poem is full of emotion Tracy...walls are there to be broken down.... when ready...10++
This is a very touching and tenerly written poem, Tracy, and having experienced some of these same feelings in my life, emotional walls are fine in the short term, but over the long term, chain one's heart to the past, and do not permit a new love to enter that lonely heart. Perhaps you may keep the walls, but at least leave the gate unlocked, so that a new lover may enter your heart one day. Carl.
