HalleeImperfectPoems
My hardest times have frozen me Hardened my outermost shell Inside it is cold, painful, lonely The souls of my feet walk upon shards of ice Ice much like shining glass A step is to crumble, with each I lose more faith More and more until, Suddenly I can no longer walk, I crumble Shaking, shivering, waiting The minutes, moments pass without the slightest notion or sign Not a trace of notice in their eyes My own does not even notice the pain I do not wish to move, standing still pains me less So I stand and stare with nothing but anguish Full of utmost hatred, despair, loneliness, cold Not until then do I realize it is cold still Time as frozen as the ends of my nerves Nerves that will never function the same again Hatred for myself overrules and I redress, Solemnly limping to an unseen comfort I am in the presence of warmth but still I tremble Ruined, an outer shell cracked and crumbling I must fall, I do not wish to be alone, I am scared I am cold, I feel a most dreadful sorrow, I cannot stand I fall, but now you fall with me We collapse and let our tears melt the ice Not forever will my loneliness last and we can crumble together My heart thaws, my chills subside, and hypothermia fades

Hypothermia
My hardest times have frozen me Hardened my outermost shell Inside it is cold, painful, lonely The souls of my feet walk upon shards of ice Ice much like shining glass A step is to crumble, with each I lose more faith More and more until, Suddenly I can no longer walk, I crumble Shaking, shivering, waiting The minutes, moments pass without the slightest notion or sign Not a trace of notice in their eyes My own does not even notice the pain I do not wish to move, standing still pains me less So I stand and stare with nothing but anguish Full of utmost hatred, despair, loneliness, cold Not until then do I realize it is cold still Time as frozen as the ends of my nerves Nerves that will never function the same again Hatred for myself overrules and I redress, Solemnly limping to an unseen comfort I am in the presence of warmth but still I tremble Ruined, an outer shell cracked and crumbling I must fall, I do not wish to be alone, I am scared I am cold, I feel a most dreadful sorrow, I cannot stand I fall, but now you fall with me We collapse and let our tears melt the ice Not forever will my loneliness last and we can crumble together My heart thaws, my chills subside, and hypothermia fades
