Frigid Outlook

Summary:

I don't see myself getting any warmer.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Forgive me if I have become cold
i am young, yet my soul feels old

from all the lies and illusions I've been sold
so the distrust grows on my heart like mold

and I care nothing for what you've been told
about me, good or bad, the bell has already tolled

now I bury it, my warmth, one rarer than gold
to be unearthed someday by someone who can hold

me with a caring touch
but perhaps I am asking for too much.

Notes:

I have been enjoying writing couplets so far, especially where I try to let the ideas extend across multiple stanzas.

I appreciate you for reading!
