My Frozen World Poem by Casey Gochnour

I need you here, I feel you missing,
Not from my heart; I miss us kissing,
The bed isn’t where I want to be now,
Only with you, but tell me how,

Underneath sheets, the ice begins to spread,
From the blankets to my skin, covering this bed.
Frozen without the warmth of your love,
Without my moon that shines above.

How it freezes my body and brittles my bones,
How the cold diamonds stretch over grass and stones.
Expanding for all it’s worth, enveloping houses, trees,
Without you I knew, my world had begun to freeze.

Trapped in this cold bed with memories to keep me warm,
The heat uncomparable to times at our dorm.
Love given, love taken, love shared back and forth,
And now only this iced wind from the north.

I hug my pillow, holding it tighter,
And my world seems a little lighter.
It may not be you that I squeeze,
But my love spills and it puts me at ease.

I send out a text filled with love and affection,
You let me know you’re there, giving me protection.
My delicious confection, oh womanly perfection,
You are my natural selection.

Do you see this frozen world out before me?
How without you I simply can’t be set free?
Do you see how without you, without you…
I don’t know what I’d do.

So come now, I need you here to warm our lives together,
Fix this bed by holding me close, we’ll dispel the cold weather.
I need you to let the heat of our love become unfurled,
Because I couldn’t live without you in this frozen world.
