Tears want to fall
But pride won’t let them
Wash away my facade
Leaving me naked and exposed
Vulnerable to that excruciating pain
That rips through the bodies of the love sick
And Burns through the souls of the broken hearted
The cries from my heart resound in my ears.
Yearning to touch, to embrace, to breathe again
Arms and legs began to tremble.
Lungs began to seize
The apathetic blizzard wreaks havoc on my remains
As the icicles slice through my veins
And slash through my arteries
The cold tentacles creep through the caverns of my spirit
Replacing the warmth of compassion and benevolence
With the icy plasma of indifference and contempt
My hearts is frantically thrashing on my chest
Trying to escape its impending doom
As the freeze spreads
My emotions disappear
The numbness takes hold

Good job. You've made me want to go scream into a pillow (in a good way). This is wonderful. The meaning is great, it's simpler and more to the point than some I've already looked at. I'm depressed now that I've read this. It's a perfect example of what I wanted for my contest. You rock!

A very dark side to the pic of inspiration. Did a great job of writing it but not quite what the pic represented to me as a judge! No doubt you are a fine poet in the area that you have chosen. Don
