Frozen

cold and locked away

On this merry-go-round we call life
we share a horrible secret

How can I melt those frozen tears you shed
making your face a mask

You say, " There is no beauty"
you have a hole in your heart

No warmth can save you
from the disease you carry

Like a pocket-watch your grandfather gave you
dead and buried in the frozen earth

You have a hole in your heart
as deep as the Artic
as cold as the tundra

Frozen

Interesting imagery. I kind of feel cold already... which is a nice feeling considering the 101 degree heat where I'm living. :P

I personally think this is a very deep poem. Unfortunately, I can't really dig far below ground to tell you what it tells me, but I will say that you're really gifted with these images and figurative language you present us with. The vision you give me is a winter wasteland that is beautiful but terrible to dwell in... it's a stange sight, but I have to admit that I'm impressed with the result.

This is an excellent and highly descriptive poem with possibly one simple theme or many complex message. Great job and thanks for posting.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, you can't change someone. You may never be able to defrost someone. It's a challenge, sometimes it pays off but all too often a waste of your preciouse time.
What a fantastic poem, I got cold just reading it! Your writing and strong emotions make this an awesome poem.

I really like this a lot Chloe! The imagery is fantastic and the overall feeling of isolation it portrays is powerful.

Great poem. Well done!

The visual in this piece were wonderful and vivid. I really enjoyed the way you wrote this and showed a sadness that is locked away in something of a coldness itself. Embracing the lonely feelings that consume the thoughts in moments of doubt. A great piece to wake up to, gave me wonderful ideas for a new piece.

Great Job!!!!!!
