Your cold wrath

Your cold wrath
wrapped me into a cocoon
i felt it freez my soul
i could no longer sense
your warmth it was
as if for the first time
i saw the real you
the one without the mask
and pretense,
i felt the earth shake for a bit
i remained calm, trying hard
to find the version of you
i had in my mind,
i pulled you closer
filled you with kisses
alas it was all in vain
it was all just a dream
or was it a nightmare
I would never know...

so emotive and relatable, Ardra! simply said and deeply felt .. especially the coldness of it .. chills my bones .. such a tragedy when pretense is maintained past the point of commitment .. finding out the true "self" of a partner in life at such a late date is shocking almost for the one who has been deceived .. i think you poem is the real deal .. open and honest ... what creative writing is all about says i!
