I spend my nights alone
Creating my world
My fantasy

I have a wonderful gadget
That can change tears
To frost

Each time my worlds become
Even more fantastic
More amazing

It pains me to know my world
Melts away because
I exist

And every time it melts away
The flood of tears
Grows deeper

Then I gather up my tears
Only to return and
Create again

It is impossible for me to stop
Creating my dreams
In frost

So I simply hold onto hope
That it doesn't break,
My heart

Maverick Wolf,
this was a disturbing poem, for I know that tears turned to frost can freeze the heart and chill the spirit. *hugs* if the experience is real for you. Congratulations if it is poetry only, for it is excellent, capturing the sense of desolation after loss.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Very interesting write. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
