Array ( [sid] => 8340 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Frozen Tears and Ghosts [time] => 2002-12-10 09:30:00 [hometext] => This poem is about the same man that I wrote about in nothing but a dream. I just don't think that he is coming back this time. [bodytext] => The icy wind blows through my hair,
Sending shivers up my spine,
And the tears that stream down my face,
Freeze to the apples of my cheeks.
As I collapse to the frosted ground,
Too week to move,
I feel as though death is gripping my heart,
And that pain is all I feel:
Knowing that your arms are not around me,
Knowing I will never feel them again,
And knowing you walked away,
Never to come back and smile at me
Or brush the hair from my face.
I am tormented between standing on my own
And wanting you so badly my spirit aches for you.
As I muster the strength
To raise my head,
With tears still frozen to my face,
I see your form in front of me.
I reach for you,
But you reach not back.
Instead you dissipate between my fingers.
You are a ghost.
A ghost of what I thought you were,
And confirmation of what you are.
And as I lay on the frozen ground,
Snow gently falls around my body.
I know I can push myself up.
I’ve had to do it before I met you.
I’ve walked through life alone before you.
I can do it again,
But the question that plagues my mind
Is do I really want to do it again?
It is easier to stay motionless on the ground
Than it is to move.
For moving festers the wound you created.
So, I will stay here,
Knowing you will never return.

Frozen Tears and Ghosts

The icy wind blows through my hair,
Sending shivers up my spine,
And the tears that stream down my face,
Freeze to the apples of my cheeks.
As I collapse to the frosted ground,
Too week to move,
I feel as though death is gripping my heart,
And that pain is all I feel:
Knowing that your arms are not around me,
Knowing I will never feel them again,
And knowing you walked away,
Never to come back and smile at me
Or brush the hair from my face.
I am tormented between standing on my own
And wanting you so badly my spirit aches for you.
As I muster the strength
To raise my head,
With tears still frozen to my face,

You are a ghost.
A ghost of what I thought you were,

Knowing you will never return.
