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!!!

A delicate and intimate peek inside a heart yearning before the cold blankets all warmth. An array of feeling and emotional output. Nicely done

Despite the stark wistfullness or rather because of it; this is a remarkably beautiful poem. There are layers of emotion here flowing rather than bursting out. The reader is caught transfixed.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for feeling the depth in this piece, Ken. I appreciate your words 😊

Pleasure is mine...:)

A romantic cri de coeur ... wallowing in self-pity... yes... very typical of how some people react to a broken relationship

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Not self pity - I think it's self realization...
Thank you for your thoughts on this one, Jibey. Always appreciate it 😊

I like the way you've pumped up the intensity in this one . . . I can feel the pleading & longing. Reading this feels like a see-saw as you go up & down thru hope & melancholy, hope & melancholy, thru-out. It's a familiar see-saw to many.

Tbh these were two separate writes which I merged together to make one. I'm glad you noted that switching between of emotions here. Thank you for your words on this piece, BG. I truly appreciate it 😊
