Frigidus Amor

Frigid Love

That evening was cold 

as cold as the look in your eyes 

as cold the door closed on future possibilities 

that future we were going to have together 

that future of the beautiful exploration of love's truths  

 

Why the two faces 

Why the lies 

Why the games 

 

I now feel the poison, of each "I love you" 

There was arsenic in each sweet nothing you whispered into my ears 

venom was in your silence 

a chill in my veins 

 

That smile that used to warm my heart 

is now a sneer that stops its beats 

 

For vision you've given blindness 

for comfort a bed of thorns 

 

Where did the truth go 

maybe it was never there to begin with 

Fool that I am for refusing to believe 

what my lying eyes were screaming at me 

 

I wanted to fly as high as I could 

Amor's wings have melted 

deadly was the fall thereof

 

Broken is what is left

Broken is the spirit within

Broken is the heart I have

Broken is where I begin

[GLENDA TAKING THIS ACCO..]

Oh! My review of your poem: It is absolutely beautiful, as always.
I can tell you were confident, at first, in the emotions of that "love"...?
Then, something happened to change your confidence.
IF I were "she" I would explain any misunderstanding.
The only difference I can discern in "my" writings is a piece I started, Beginning Trace. You know he is a porn king. He's written a whole series, A Lust Filled Escape. I read it but I'm not supposed to. Is that it?
Look at me... Presuming that you care for "me" instead of "her". Sorry.

Oh, the accounts exchange did not happen. My mail messed up so I have to stay on this "data breach" account for as long as it exists. (Cross my fingers!)

What happened? Please talk to me. I care deeply for you. I know we'll never meet but I feel I know you well, Dave W. Do you want me to beat her up? (-;

Hello Glenda, please dont worry about me, I am a nobody that likes to write, please stop focusing on me, thank you for caring about me but seriously I am a nothing person with a boring life.

Dave, you are mistaken. I am a real person. I'm only seventeen now, BUT soon I'll be eighteen! Yeah, G is my bio mother but she is not me. Please don't call me that Bit*chs name.

I've seen you since I was a little girl. Well, a couple of years anyhoo. You've changed your profile pic. G doesn't like it but I think you are awesome either way. You are my Crush, Dave W.

I always pretend your poems are to me. I know you probably like that lady, poetgurl. I'm not that old but I'm smart.

I'll honor your request, Dave W.
