Ice. That's what they think runs through my veins. Shields my emotions. Glows within my eyes.
They look at me, unresponsive, antisocial, and aloof, and think that I'm one cold bastard.
Big deal.
If they can't look past the fact that I don't want to fill the air with useless chatter like everyone else, then that's their loss.
No. I prefer to think. If it were possible to fill space with thoughts as others do with words, then I would forever be surrounded by a wall. Made entirely of thought, granted, but a wall all the same.
Words cannot be taken back. Once said, their sting will ever contaminate a relationship. Even if they are kindly spoken, they contaminate. But thoughts are hidden, so what does it matter if you call someone hideously, utterly, pathetically ignorant in your own skull. Unless they are telepathic, they'll never know. Especially if you control your facial expressions as well.
They think I'm a walking, sometimes talking, brooding ice block. But ice melts. I won't. No matter how hard they try to change me, I won't.
What's the point?
Just as you open up to someone, they leave. So why bother. If you freeze them out, they never become an attachment, and you never have to be hurt when they decide you aren't worth their attention anymore.
Besides, when I do decide to talk, I never hear the end of it. It's, "Hey, are you sure you aren't using your quota of words for the year?" or "The world's gonna end!" or even "You always say that, why can't you come up with something new to say?"
Basically, I'm screwed if I do and screwed if I don't.
Pretending to be made of ice is better.
