Hypothermia of the heart.
Hypothermia of the heart.
Words escape me
A silent void where the feelings used to be.
Numbness covers my heart
Encasing it in a frosted case.
Countless times I begged for you
Chased you.
Longed for a future that could never be.
Strived to be something that I couldn’t be.
Tried to be flawless and kind
But the reflection is not me.
Desperate for tears
Yet my eyes stay dry.
Numbness continues despite all attempts.
I am buried in emptiness.
I thought that with time
A storm would rise in my heart
But there’s only stillness.
@Hopeful0001 moving poem.. It's good you're able to express yourself like this Hopeful, and I hope it's helping.
@FenrirWolf
thank you. It didn’t help too much I’m still numb but maybe soon with the right support
@Hopeful0001
The title I thought was a masterstroke, "hypothermia of the Heart". It encapsulates the poem's themes so well. Your extended metaphor really imparts a strong sense of cold detachment that still manages to gnaw at the heart like frostbite on the extremities. I thought it was very creative and interesting to read.
