Deep Cold

From the darkness Staring into the candle Love's light flickers In teardrops falling A child who plays sick games Who needs to grow up Hiding in lies A cold hearted liar Black dark clouds Hang ore When the dragon speaks Flames upon the words Ash remains I already spoke To you as a friend Told you how I was getting on Talking to your mother Joking and laughing My heart softened Touched me Very deeply After finding out A completely different story I get the message Loud and crystal Blue clear awakening Cold to the bone I have no clue Who you are anymore Cruel in what you done Sick cruel joke Makes the skin crawl How low one can stoop Almost low enough Like a snake To feel the need to hurt me more Taking your latest conquest 260 miles south Headed north My cousins home Family owned land Sleeping in my home place Everything about it drew heaven Now you need help As I know you are on a different planet I just can not believe How cold you got No turning back A complete stranger Would treat someone better

I can relate to this poem for sure. It is heartbreaking when we find out how cold our loved ones can be sometimes. Like they have changed into someone unrecognizable....You write with such depth, Liam, it's amazing! Great poem here. My poem titled, "Love Bites", has a very similar theme to this one.
