No More Chills
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "Cold No More" by Craig Hardy
Poetry Now Version
My heart was a frozen stone,
Silent and solitary, it roamed.
Through fearful days, I stood my ground,
Worried my fire would never be found.
Time stripped me of warmth and light,
Leaving me in shadowed night.
A darkened heart with no spark to see,
Just a void where joy used to be.
I became a machine without a soul,
Unmoved by love or pain's toll.
But then my spirit ignited the way,
To burn bright and fierce each day.
No longer cold or confined,
My heart is free and aligned.
Burning fiercely for all to view—
A flame that endures because of you.
— Poetic Rizz
Original Poem
My heart so cold and hard like stone
Closed and quiet and always alone
Through the days I go with fear
That my heart will disappear
To freeze like ice to no longer burn
To leave my chest and never return
The days did pass to leave me bare
Of love and happiness I did not care
My heart so dark as black as coal
For in my chest there is a hole
A robot I became no heart but steel
For love nor pain I could not feel
But then my heart begun to burn
For love and passion to return
Gone are the darkness and the cold
My heart so open and so bold
To burn so hot, so bright, so true
To burn with love, my love for you
