Felix is as cold
as a piece of dry ice
that won’t evaporate.  

He’s as hard as a rock
that can’t be split.  

No one can get to Felix,
or reach him ever.  

His stone-cold heart
will never melt.

Bobby

I don't think Felix is as cold as he thinks he is. he just learned never to trust anyone. I know because I tend to be a bit that way myself.

Thanks Seoulair,

Yeah, Felix has a cold outlook on life.  Butter doesn't melt in his mouth.

Thanks for liking Felix.  He's glad you don't hate him, like some people do.

Ida,

You're a wise kid, and you have the right idea.  There is really nothing wrong with being cold.

Hey Alison,

Don't be sad.  Felix is cool the way he is.  There's nothing wrong with being cold.

Dear RDB,

Felix cares about you too.  He hugs you right back Hon.

Love from Felix, your main man

Perhaps Felix doesn't realize, he has won the battle and survived.  He doesn't need to be cold anymore and he has love around him to help.  Love, Joyce

I suppose if Felix were made of plain ice, he would melt and lose all of his strength which is needed to survive in that dog-eat-dog world.

Thanks Yann,

Having a certain coldness helps with self preservation, an obligation of every person.

Thanks dear Joyce,

Felix's coldness has developed over a number of years.  It remains a part of his personality.  People tend to come to him with warmth, and it rather results in a comfortable climate.  Felix is a selfish person.

Thanks Linda,

You are correct.  I have seen people "melt" in my world.  It's a very sad thing for everyone involved.  It’s a sad to see, and devastating for the person that melts.

Love Bobby

I'm as cold as an ice cube in a freezer. I like the poem.

Thanks Angel,

I'm pleased you like the poem.

An ice cube will melt at 32 degrees F, while dry ice sublimes at -109 degrees F, and never bothers to melt at all under atmospheric conditions.
