Frozen Tears

A world viewed through cold eyes creates frozen tears & hardened emotions Going through the motions only solidifies the pain as salty feelings cut like ice sickles impaling warm veins These feelings bleed out into the streets of our minds that were constructed upon old structures & paradigms in vain At times I feign ignorance of these false foundations because ignorance is bliss knowing burying my head in the sand could be hit or miss No one is at home in this batters box & it would be remiss of me to not mention this paradox The glass half empty view if full of contradictions no one wants to see through & in a world viewed through cold eyes tears are frozen before they've had a chance to cry Dry ice falls & shatters leaving you to pick up the pieces as if gathering your emotions isn't hard enough in this season

Such a profound, powerful write Jasen my poetic friend. So well written and expressed with many great lines. Love the title too. Your strong opening line pulls the reader in immediately. Also, ‘ tears are frozen before they’ve had a chance to cry’ really stood out for me. Very deep and meaningful. Really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings and smiles to you :):)
