It's a terrible thing to be cold
Coldhearted
Cold mannered
I didn't smile at you when our eyes chanced to meet
I didn't speak the kind word that could have broken the ice lying between us
No, it isn't anything you did
And I don't believe I am fully to blame either
The waters were already frozen when we each reached the river
You never said hello to me
You never took a step to cross to my side of the room
I'm not mad at you for that
Maybe we will live on without speaking to each other and I can be content with that
But it is in my nature to sit and ponder these thoughts as I do now
And think again what a terrible thing it is to be cold

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.

Very descriptive of a (maybe) missed opportunity - really well expressed!
I know it's not really a good thing being cold but I feel like it's a defense mechanism. Loved your poem!
