when your hurt turns cold

When your hurt turns cold




When your hurt turns cold

You feel your heart become chilled

The blood slows to a slug like crawl and you feel no palpitations

It crawls from your soul

Up your throat and you vomit it out

For all to see and hear

All you can hear is the hurt coming out in my words

The hurt comes out and will give your essence frost bite

Your ears might crumble off the side of your head

When my hurt turns cold

So, when your hurt turns cold

What are you going to do

But freeze up from the inside out

And cry

"An Akili Carter original"
