Ice Queen
the bars on this cell rattle and rage
yet there is safety in this cage.
my heart exposed too frequently
given undeservedly.
Roaring, fighting for resilience yet to be discovered,
feeling raw, naked, uncovered.
The rock is hard like ice in mind,
detached from intentions unkind,
cocooned, too hard to find.
half hidden and no one to mind.
Haunted by spectres that taunt with a strangers future-
a life with love and you and I feature,
dreams tied on fragile thread, unravel in the slightest shower.
I am lost, half a person,
no other half of me
where the buck stops alone.
My emotions threatened to shake these walls,
instead of content I do not want to fall,
splintered and fractured, how can I be free?
terrified to let you see just 'me'.
To leave my heart to your trust
or leave it locked away to rust.
Less than madness when todays kisses turn to-
tomorrows dust.
