wrapped in a blanket of emptiness,
chilled by tears
escaping a numb heart,
passion resonating;
freely shared
yet
unreturned,
feelings of invisibility
left unwarmed;
frozen to the core
love's kindred melody
breathes life
yet
asphyxiated
embraced by the coldness of hope
peace; bleak exhaustion
destined for loneliness
Author notes
