the killing of love ...

A Cold, Cold Heart I offered my heart in the palm of my hand, a burning nova to a private world, where love and forgiveness knew no bounds. Tender and trusting, it beat only for you so long ago, but hurt fans out like surface ripples on a pond after a pebble falls. Each new hurt spreads rings ever wider and with each new ring, more feelings fade spreading wider, chilling deeper, till cold as ice, they become as stones bouncing on a frozen pond, their rhythm etched forever in a cold, cold heart.

And those stones send back an echo, fozen in their emptiness. Sad metaphor CJ and so well written.

So visual, sad.........yet.....I see a determination, more than a resignation to this poem

and with each new ring,
more feelings fade
spreading wider, chilling deeper,
til cold as ice,
they become as stones
bouncing on a frozen pond

Timing is everything :)
