Ice and Fire

Ice and Fire

A Poem by Rose of Gondor

Sometime I wonder

Why I even bother

It’s not like you’d listen to me

Any more than anyone else

 

You call me “friend”

You call me “bestie”

But in the end I’m just

Another stepping stone

 

I don’t know what it is

You want from me

I don’t know why I am

Of any value, any importance

 

You say nothing

But your actions speak

And I hope sincerely

I am reading too much from them

 

You show me that you think

Laughing is a waste of time

And you will leave “useless” things behind

In the dust, the shadow of your greatness

 

You show me that you despise

The imperfection of mankind

And making mistakes is like staining

Yourself with sin that will never wash away

 

You show me that you think

You don’t need other people

You don’t need friendship

You’d rather be lonely and great

 

So why am I still here?

The question lingers in my mind

You don’t need me

I’m just another “useless” thing

 

You’re too silent, too uncaring

Calculating and too cold

In your search, in this never ending

Search for greatness, for glory

 

So why am I still here?

What do you want me for?

Will you use my wits and my heart

To further about your goal?

 

What do you want from me

You who do not understand forgiveness

What do you want from one

Who is opposite and yet so alike to you?

 

And why do I still stay

When it’s been made clear

That there is an ice in your heart

That refuses to be thawed?

 

Because, my friend, you and I

Are like ice and fire

Our hearts beat in sync, you see

No matter how different we are

 

And this is why I keep coming back

This is why in your darkest days

I stay through the night

This is why we need each other

 

I will forever be trying

To pull you out from your shell

To make you laugh and do all

That you think you have not time for

 

And I have faith

That perhaps one day

Fire will be able to thaw ice

That maybe you’ll learn to live

 

Because we are so alike

Because we are so different

You and I are the same as

Ice and Fire

...you always seem to have deep emotional aspects in your poems. But the weird thing is is that I know a person of ice, exactly as you described.

We all are certainly the same but different... we all have emotions and are lead by them, but it is the type of emotions and how we use them that separates us... excellent work.

You are welcome.
Very well developed and written poem. It pulls you into the drama into the drama that the narrator is in and really has a nice sound and wording. Very nice poem indeed.
