"Frozen In Time"

 

 

"Frozen In Time"

A house grows so cold, when love is gone,

All warmth leaves, then pain enters...so strong.

A deep chill wraps around the soul,

Allowing no warmth... to make it whole.

A heart turns into a block of ice,

No way to lure out, nor to entice.

It spreads until...all is cold,

Body's ice...shuts out, even the bold.

Tears begin to fall, slowly turning into sleet,

Heavy layers of ice as eyes weep and weep.

All thought just stops...frozen in time,

Locked back into the years, when love was fine.

Years of warmth frozen into solid ice...over night,

Ice began forming when your love walked from sight.

Numbness creeps in but thoughts still abide,

Why can't painful memories, be frozen outside.

Memory deludes, even the wisest of hearts,

All frozen in time..it shatters a life apart.

When pain enters, it destroys the soul,

All parts shattered, no way to become whole.

Life lies in shards and fragments at one's feet,

Heart is solid ice..and yet it still beats.

Memory is just cold... a rerun of life,

Just icy reminders of all of the pain and strife.

A home turns to ice, when love leaves the door,

Memory left frozen in time...lomging for more.

Valentine

Well depicted write.
I've known very warm loving homes that when the main person passes from there, the home becomes a house... it's feeling and warmth gone.

[Valentine]

[Michael G.]
