Do you still want my freezer?

Folder: 
2012

 

Sometimes I cannot feel my own heart beating

Like it’s locked in an icebox under your stairs

Frozen beside a Christmas ham and the deer you killed last winter

I don’t think I really like him

I just try for the sake of forgetting you

Or maybe forgetting you is why I won’t let myself like him

I cannot feel my heart beating

Its gone cold

That’s what happened to us

A friendship on fire

We burnt out

After the dry ice leaked from my eyes

You froze

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have an apartment sized freezer I need to get rid of... and apparently some lingering emotions...but mostly the freezer :)

The Comments/Notes about "mostly the freezer" put a title on it and sumit - Exquisite - a summation - A (adjudicator's professional note - if the poem is really small and excellent, prof will read several times and it will stick - also reading so many very long submissions you win brownie points for an easy read) :D

some kind of witty title like (still want my freezer?) or (why'd I buy this with you?) and then make the poem..I have an apartment sized freezer I need to get rid of...and apaprently some linger emotions...but mostly the freezer? lol


Much Love

Yeah

Either of those titles rock. A bit late with the reply, but then you vanished. Glad to see you back - happy pre-fall. With admiration and xoxoxxo's ~allets~
