Poetry

The temperature

Advertisements

Drops as I turn cold from the lies dripping from your mouth.

And I try to shut you out and stay inside my warm bubble where I control what goes on around me.

You try again later to break through, but I can’t even look out at you without glaring at you so sharply you can feel the coldness slice right through you.

And only then do you walk away for good.
