Winter Heat

I loved you
Never in love with you
Knew I could be
Still do
Wasn’t meant to be
But it could have been
Didn’t feel free
A dolphin with one fin
I don’t regret a thing
I regret it all
Made me want to sing
Made me want to fall
Opened my eyes
Closed my eyes
Absolutely no lies
So many cries
I walk in contradiction
This life is fiction
A dream within a dream
Reality isn’t what it seems
I will love again
I will never love at all
I will live in fear
Will I ever live at all?

  1. Love the contrast of the thoughts going back and forth in this one

  2. don't you sometimes love something but hate it all at once? or have realizations that you have moments when you enjoy something and then moments when you don't? I feel like we all live in contradiction a lot of the time. It's not the focus of this poem but you know what I'm saying.

  3. Yeah definitely. Life is full of interesting contradictions. And yeah I know there's a bigger meaning this, just thought your use of going back and forth was really effective :)
