Frigid
by Ruth
Frozen like Ice dams
their Fear backs up
as external storms rage
pile high the cold
and frozen snow
creating ice dams
on their roof
unforgiving weight
never yielding
their house still stands
with tough exterior walls
they weep and crumble within
the damage done
yet no one sees
they will not let you in
to see the internal walls
where they have wept
and keep the frozen pain
They repair only the roof,
Trusting that more storms
will come.
