Stone Cold

Sometimes I miss you like crazy but then I think... is it even worth it?

I'm falling into a paranoia of emotions which is taking me to a place from where there is no return

​.

​

I want to emerge from it, holding your hand, triumphant, that at last I have you etched on my soul 

and with the knowledge that you'll be on mine forever...

I have been kept hanging by a thread of hope that I keep alive in my harrowing heart

​ ​

~

while wallowing away in the grief of the knowledge that all that I did was for naught...

 

You kept me waiting and I kept on believing in you because I had no choice except to not believe. 

​

​

You; who I had given my whole life to...

until

​ ~​

 it turned cold and now it's nothing but an icy heart ~ stone cold...

"I'm falling into a paranoia of emotions which is taking me to a place from where there is no return​"
So drastic and deep Yumna...
I feel all those emotions dwelling across the poem, you made the readers feel the wait of the person and how it's heart later turned stone cold.. fabulous!
I really like this poem :)
Keep it up Yumna!!!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you, Shaan. Glad you felt the emotions in this one.

[Mr.Writer]

No problem :)

Thank you for your kind words here. Truly appreciate it.

[MsJewel]

Heartfelt words, painful and yet beautiful, filled with emotion. I love the art you chose to accompany your words. Lovely my friend. Julie

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for your kind words here, Julie. I appreciate it. I like the pic too 😊

the longer we hold on to relationships in our head...ones long over, the less we solve the heart's dilemma and the more they just become cold cases...unsolved forever.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

True indeed. Thank you for your thoughts on this, Jacob. I appreciate it 😊

[Kesha]

Wow, what a heartbreaking tale of a love lost! The way you penned the words and carved out such vivid imagery, nicely done! I really enjoyed this piece...very fitting today.. here it is snowing out today!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh cool, snowing? That's nice 😊 I'm jealous haha
Thank you, Kesha. Glad you liked it 😊😊

[Kesha]

You're welcome!

Such a dramatic show of doubts and love.. a worry of wondering whether or not your and the other's emotions are right or wrong. Doubts but still wanting.

Fine writing, well laid and, as ever, specific in style. The accompanying picture is more than suitable!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Doubts are what makes a confused mind more confused, I think..
Thank you, Emma, for your thoughts on this one and for liking. I like the picture too :)

"You kept me waiting and I kept on believing in you because I had no choice except to not believe.

​You; who I had given my whole life to..."

This depicts sadness and longing in relationships perfectly. This happens all the time. Couples build their dreams and lives around each other, often feeling lost and forlorn when the relationship ends.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

True, it does.
Thank you adding your thoughts here. I appreciate it 😊

[Kittenincake]

No worries

I like the way you wielded the emotions in this write; clear and on point. A good, reflective piece. Relatable also...
Your closing line could be a little sharper, I feel..but that's only my perception.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

It could be, you're right but idk I'll leave it like this for now..
Thank you for your thoughts on this, Vanessa. I appreciate it 😊

Paranoia of emotions, and stone cold, icy hearts turned old... Is it worth it... The missing... Well penned...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Your review confused me, Silente lol but thank you 😊

[Chase Dylan]

Ah, I apologize, YK... I just meant to say that I enjoyed the way you expressed paranoia of emotion... Very clever line, and is it worth it, to miss someone who makes your heart become ice... I hope that clears that up, heh... You are welcome!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh ohkay. Add this to my being naive enough to not read between the lines haha 😛
Thank you again for appreciating and for clarifying 😊😊

[Chase Dylan]

Nah, you are not naive, haha... I am just not always the best at making myself understood... Thank you for the beautiful writing, and was my pleasure...

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Well... this really speaks many things

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ahemm I think it does...

[Najam Us Saher]
