Cold Fire

PreviousNext
Like a cold fire rushing through my veins 
Into my core and reaching from my heart 
Feels like sparks flying through torrential rains 
Out of nowhere, you gave me a new start 
My consciousness is breaking piece by piece 
A simple word that I cannot say: no 
My lungs are screaming for air, for release 
But freedom means I'd have to let you go 
A snowy blaze, a heated frost descends 
These mixed sensations tearing at my soul 
Thanks and questions lingering at both ends 
Do you realize how much of me you stole? 
An answer I know I will never find 
Despite the games you don't play with my mind.

Nice job keeping rhyme scheme. Always a little impressed with that. It definitely gave it a beat. However, the actual substance of the poem is a little confusing to me. It appears to be about an emotional whirlwind of a relationship, but I can't seem to make out what exactly the narrator is trying to say. Maybe try to better explain this, write it in clean chronological order? Something?

Personally, the best example of a good narrative poem I can name off the top of my head is "My Mother Combs My Hair"--it might be online. Maybe check it out?

Otherwise, feel free to tell me what it is exactly about, because I am curious. Maybe then I could do a better critique.

Keep writing,
Cas
