Frozen


Frozen. 
 
The fear inside me wanders around. 
floats around. 
Like a leaf in the wind. 
The despair inside me weighs me down. 
Sinks me down. 
Like a anchor dropped at sea. 
The cold inside me consumes me. 
Eats me. 
Like a starving man. 
 
 
I am blue as the ocean. 
I am cold as the winter morning.
Pale as the snow.
 
 
I am trapped. Frozen. Alone. 
I am free to move about the ocean floor.
Dragging my anchor as I go, I'm search of a place to call home. 
 
 
It's a winter wonderland down here, I wonder if anyone feels this like me. Emotions sharp like an icicle. 
One by one they fall. 
Piercing me as the fall through me. 
 
Trapped. 
 
I look up, to see you. Radiant as ever. Warm as the springy breeze. 
 
You are my primavera. 
 
Come and change my season.
