Cold Inside My Heart


I smiled at the sky today
but it’s my little secret
the bright blue reflecting in my eyes
but I’ll be damned
if I’ll let you see it

Warm on the outside
Cold inside my heart
I’m supposed to be getting over you
but I don’t know where to start
How can I put myself back together
when you are the missing part?
Come back and warm
the cold inside my heart

I laughed at a stranger’s joke today
but it’s a sound you won’t hear
the humorous twinkle in my eyes
just a cover
to hold back the tears

Warm on the outside
Cold inside my heart
I’m supposed to be getting over you
but I don’t know where to start
How can I put myself back together
when you are the missing part?
Come back and warm
the cold inside my heart

I cried out to you today
but…

Thank you Charisma,
      At the risk of sounding like a defeatist, I'm having a hard time believing that I am going to get over this.

Heart wrenching poem, Jeff.  Just remember:  that which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go

God the pain
Of Unseen Bleeding

A Hole Inside
Forever Draining

My Life A Stage
I Act Each Line

Oh I Am Good
They Never Suspect

I Am Bleeding
Bleeding To Death

No person can know, nor feel the Pain, only you can know. But Human we are, and thoughts reach out. I know I would rather suffer pain corporeal maximus, than have one moment of emotion's TearingRending. One is merely pain: the latter SoulStruck.

One day, some day, will come a time, when it is a memory ONLY. Yes scars, but Tomoorow, even through years, eventually comes.

Means Nothing Now, I Know. But, Will come a day...


The Song That Is Soul
It Reaches Defiant
Giving It In And Given
Calling All Souls Rise

I know it feels like the pain is never gonna end but it will...it will. One day you will wake up and something will be missing...you will wonder and wonder...then finally realize that weight is gone. Im here you know that

Tara,

     Heart wrenching for who? You or me? I refuse to fill the void you left because I know NOTHING will fill it the same way. Unlike...

DreamSeeker,

     Beautiful response, you have a way with words; I especially like "Oh I Am Good, They Never Suspect". It's a memory now; but never ONLY, because wounds of the heart don't ever totally heal.

Paula,

    Thank you for being there; I don't want the "weight" to be gone. I just want to carry it with a feeling of happiness and pride, not sadness and regret.
