Paralysis, by Faith
|
The words flow
from his lips
like water.
Sharp
Cold.
Biting to the bone.
They strip away skin,
tearing through
to the heart--
now frozen.
Paralised.
Unmoving.
While the tears fall--
surprisingly hot
against the chill
that crashes like a wave
through every muscle--
uncerimoniously
to the ground.
And he walks away
leaving a wall of winter
in his wake.
No backwards glances.
No second thoughts.

| --I originally wrote this poem in a different format, but didn't like it. So, after fiddling around with the structure and adding words here & there, this is the finished product.-- |
