Too deep in my frost |

You say my heart is numb, That I’ve grown cold Fire was never my element- I’ve been burned Too many times And I see you shiver, When I come near And you- With those frost-bitten lips You can never go back You were wrong. I was always cold I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, If you can tell me something worth fighting for -coldplay [This message has been edited by Wind (07-06-2003 04:11 PM).] |

Liz, I'm impressed that a young person like you can write such a raw emote. I, too, agree with Raph...those lines are excellent and hit hard. In fact, he was the one who referred me to this poem...and it's a keeper ~ Melissa Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Liz, you do have a talent, my little friend. What makes it more amazing to me is that you have such an ability to write so deeply of something that isn't even real... Even though I don't know you personally, I have seen enough of you on here and in the discusions boards to know that you are a very warm person and have a very caring heart. Heart hugs to you, little lady Ethel |

BOOM. That was my first thought after reading this. Lots of impact in a few words. And you excel at that. |

Nice to see that everyone knows that this isn't real. I usualy scare the heck out of everyone I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, |
