Dearly Beloved

Why This Won't Work

By Terowi MarshallPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Your warmth is fake, yet you wonder why I'm cold hearted

Dearly beloved, I'm too far gone to be thawed out

I come out on a full moon, I've always blended with the cool air that comes with it; is that why we don't mix?

You've always been summer, and I winter

Maybe that's why you'd think we'd match... no point of a fireplace without the cool breeze...

It's just that your fireplace doesn't hold enough flames to fix what's always been frozen... especially when the flames are artificial

And the heat you give off is a mirage

Yet I stay, in hopes to feel the dying flames

In hopes that my frozen fortress will cave

In hopes to learn to love again...

But the icicles are growing at a rapid pace

Water trickles down my heart and freezes into place

My dearly beloved; I'm too far gone to be saved

My tundra is too cold to see this "sun" you portray yourself to be

So I'll continue to wait for my true desert storm...
