Cold- Disha P Dinesan

Cold.

I feel cold.

Your eyes that look at me are cold,

Devoid any emotions.

Where did the ocean-deep eyes go,

That I fell for.

I look back into those soulless pits,

Feel myself shiver.

Cold.

I feel cold.

As I bleed

Through the wounds your dagger-like words inflicted on me.

Where did the warm words that held me when I hurt go?

I lay on the ground,

The bleeding doesn't stop,

Feel myself shiver.

Cold.

I feel cold.

I am scared.

The world around me doesn't care and never cared.

But you, I thought you would care when I fell.

Where did those arms that held me when the world threw me at the floor go?

I hug myself

Missing the warmth,

Feel myself shiver.

The cold has just grown

Become ice blocks that shut me out.

I am not sure.

Did you shut me out,

Or did I shut myself out?

But I do not want to cry

I can't breathe

But I do not want to show you what you wish to see

My defeat.

But they fell,

The tears of,

Destruction and anger and betrayal

And I feel the ice melt

As I feel the emotions built up in me melt away.

The ice cracks,

And I see the daylight through the crack

I crack it wider with the knives you threw at me

I feel the warmth that you took away from me

I feel the soul that you stole from me

I see myself

And I realise

I should have let myself out sooner.
