FROZEN SUMMER NIGHTS

NOBODY KNOWS ME
I'M COLD
LEFT IN THIS WORLD ALL ALONE
EVERYBODY'S GONE
I AM SO COLD
I'M FROZEN IN JULY
I'M NUMB
I CAN'T FEEL MY HEART
NO LIE
BUT I KNOW THAT IT BEATS
SO I'M STILL ALIVE
AS I FREEZE
IN THE SUMMER BREEZE
I'M STANDING ON TOP
LOOKING AT THE HOLE IN THE GROUND
I WANNA CRY
I WANNA FROWN
BUT NO BONES CAN MOVE
I AM FROZEN...IN JULY
FLOWERS
THEY THROW DIRT ON THEM
PRAYERS
GO UP TO HEAVEN
THE HOLE
IS NO MORE
SUMMER NIGHTS
I HATE THEM
IN JULY

That, honestly that is very...well, emotional. I feel the feelings that you wrote in this poem directed toward your brother John. I hope he knows that you, his sister, are quite the amazing writer and that he knows you wrote this amazing piece for him.

I'm totally getting used to the capitals Em! The contrast between july and feeling frozen was awesome.

There was a sense of profound emotion in this, that never fully revealed itself which made it more powerful, sentimentally.

The loss of someone can change our perspectives in life especially the timing of death. It makes everything bitter and we can't go past it. This poem is touching because it holds dear emotions even as the cold comes welling into your heart. Good write.

Lost of family leave us with a broken heart. I lost three brothers a long time ago and still think of them daily. I was cold and heartless for many years. Took a good woman and my children to make me come alive again. Thank you for the excellent poem. I believe your brother feel your love and missing him.
