A petal fell from a dying flower
A leaf fell from a sleeping oak
A snowflake fell from a cloud
A pebble fell from a cliff
The sky darkened
The ground hardened
The world slowed
the water stopped
I freeze in place
I freeze from cold
I freeze from you
I freeze inside
You say I will be fine
You say I will survive
You say I am going to live
You say this about yourself
You do not comfort me like you think
You do not care to protect me like you say
You do not want me like you think
You do not love me like you say
