A Coldness I Can't Shake

Renold Jolves

At times I seek a coldness I cant shake

Broken and lounging down by the lake

With brittle bones and frozen winds

Such memories I can’t amend

 

At times I seek the coldness late

A darkness bound for the God of hate

The chill of night that freezes bone

This water now I call it home

 

At times I seek the heart that takes

One that may steal and then may break

A resonance of heart, mine and theirs

A still response of silent air

 

For once I find that heart so sour

In I will be love and now shall devour

That taste of blood still fresh on my lips

The lake now rejoices and I will submit

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a personal vent for my heart. It reminds me of the cold way life has treated me and how I somehow end up by the darkest of waters. I've been done wrong and my heart aches everyday due to this calamity of my life. The frozen lake is a metaphor describing my personal living situation, and how i must bleed or draw blood to please others.
