Triggering: too cold to cry

[NeuroBeautiful]

When your eyes see and your ears hear
faster than your brain comprehends
When you're overwhelmed with hurt
and your energy has been drained
Cross fingers the heat will start
Pull in knees to chest
Hug a stuffed animal cat
Try waiting around.

The salt in tears,
Chips away at icicles
De-frost, thaw
Harsh winter nights

Waiting around,
for the sun to shine through
When alleyway roads darken
A drop of sun,
goes a long way
Death consumes the air
There's a life out there
Waiting for tears, but
It's too soon to open up
Too soon to cry

Slush icy tears,
Mud puddles
melted mush
Shoveled, no digging involved
shoved over to the side
heaps over the years



Waiting around,
a sanctuary to just be
Loose, warm, protection from harm
Safe for tears to run free
So far, youre so far
from making this reality*
Too messy, too dense
Too much of an expense, to cry

Hard rocky hail
Pelt at red cheeks
like a snowball fight
Waiting around
To warm up, well up
As liquid inside your eyes

Slowly slip and slide
A single streak
That's the most you can get,
the rest is frozen solid*
Still waiting around...

Too painful to bear
Too much to make sense of*
Not warm enough for liquid tears
You try,* but it's
Too cold to cry

This is really cool yet emotional, too. I like the mention of defrosting during the winter nights, and how a little bit of sun can go a long way. I can relate to that.

I liked the imagery in this.

This is an excellent piece.
