cold

[fizzygirl]

some time ago, i chose to live my life in the middle--
to avoid the highs and lows that come with the behavior of others...to avoid the necessity of trust, and to lose faith in things that i once found central...
for i do not need these things for my body to survive, and my soul can exist without their prescence...i do not need to be taught that these things are fallible, i have learned this all too well
trust is for those that can afford the loss and faith is for the man that has something to fall back on...and love..
love is for those that are willing to risk everything...
if i never let them in,
then they can't leave...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i asked her to be there, and she was..restoring a small flame to a dying light..a heart is warming that was once cold and i start to realize
that
no one can reach out to me
if i sit with closed arms...

Sad

But I know where you're coming from. I find myself closer and closer to that place every day. Seems a bit easier doesn't it? But I wonder sometimes, if it really is...

Gotta love poems that are named "cold"

--
cold (dec '98)
i'm standing naked in the storm
the storm in my mind
it comes up again
and it takes whatever i feel
freezing in the winter air
i can drink till i drown
and smoke to slowly suffocate
but the frost's everywhere i go
it's cold deep in me
i don't love, just need
i'll sell my tears
to anyone with the looks
like a whore
my love is shallow
and the wounds i create are deep
it's cold deep in me
i don't love, just need
