Hot and Cold

Hot and Cold

A Poem by Destinyxi

Hot and Cold

 

Your mind is changing constantly

You don’t know what or who you want

You don’t know what you like

 

How am I supposed to know?

 

You change opinions

You change ideas

 

My temper is starting to flare

 

I’m getting impatient

Make up

Your

Damn

Mind

 

I’m going to blow up in your face

And the heated ashes will stick

And mark your perfect cheeks

 

It’s boiling and boiling

It’s starting to overflow

 

Are you done?

Oh, you’re just getting started

 

How long would it take for you to notice

Me walk away

When you’re so caught up in yourself

Trying to piece yourself together

 

You have no history

No one’s broken you

Let alone in two

What are you trying to put together?

 

So you haven’t figured yourself out yet

 

That’s not why I’m here

I’m not here with a magnifying glass

Oh this is your piece

Nope, this is mine

 

I’m more broken and shattered

Yet I’m more put together

And decisive

 

Get to it

Because I’m done playing tug a war

 

I don’t need to be pulled along with your ideas

Today it’s this

Tomorrow it’s that

After tomorrow it’s something else

 

No, I don’t roll like that

 

Come to a decision

Or I’ll be forced to make it for you

 

And you wouldn’t want that

Now

Would you?

Author's Note

Destinyxi
Ever come across someone who just keep changing their mind over and over again?

Whenever it happens, I think about Katy Perry's Hot n Cold song. Hence the title for the poem.

Enjoy

It spoke to me in it's own way. I find myself indecisive and need to make a conscious decision to just say "f**k you austin" and just do. I think I'm going to work on that and just keep doing, less thinking. Interject myself in all kinds of things, life is a bit more interesting that way. Thanks for resurfacing this unresolved conflict. As for a poem I thought it had bite and is assertive which is cool and I can easily empathize with the situation. It is a quality stab at indecisive people, i dig that. one Line did leave me confused though

"You have no history
No one’s broken you
Let alone in two
What are you trying to put together?"

like the middle two. I kinda get it but i feel it was presented awkwardly. Elaborate?
Anyway i am glad Katy Perry isn't singing this.

This sounds like a situation in which I've played the role of waiting and waiting and waiting some more. speaks out and gets the point across neat and concise. I liked it a lot :)

I like the desire in this poem. Good description allowed the reader to feel the frustration for someone to decide what they need and want. I like the question at the end. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

i do that quite often actually, not because i'm actually changing my mind, i just think i am, or i make others think i am, and writing this proves the point that i do in fact change my mind cause i can't make up my mind as to how to review this poem or say anything valid or of any merit. good poem? don't look at me, i'm just here cause you asked me to.

People say they don't but do a lot I have found, some say we are governed by the pull of the planets and have no control over our moods or changes of temperament. You have expressed this with some feeling, which makes it very real. A good honest write here I think.

;) welcome, girl...i am so enjoying reading yer work...keep it up
This is splendidly crafted as your poems usually are...you have a knack for knowing when lines begin and end, and when words are worthy of their own lines...your work seems naturally suited to spoken-word delivery, which I would pay to hear coming from you ;)

Mind you, when you get into this subject matter, I can't help but feel uneasy...rarely is your poetry not inspired by people you know, and this is a theme that seems to come up quite regularly if not frequently...in other words, I hope it's not inspired by the person I think it is, and no, I'm not talking about me haha But great work as always Kels :)
