Feet dangling in icy water in shadowy darkness,
I let the coldness climb on me,
From feet to head,
Hoping to freeze something that’s dead.
.
Recalling what you’ve said,
“I don’t care.”
Oh, you’ve got me mad,
Because caring too much is what I always dare.
.
No more sweet talk,
Withholding the mismatch,
and the notoriously expired faith,
Life is blank and what an interesting place.
.
Love is the most powerful paradox,
I need no belittling pathos,
As the moon’s transfigured light rises,
I’m happy to be single without human sacrifice.
