She's a cold one
The kind of cold
that drives deeply
Frigid and
lingeringly painful
Invisible but tangible scars
She's a cold one who
never knows just what she does
but does it anyway
unknowingly cruel
With teeth that seek
and find the flesh,
wounds with depth
that never completely heal
that have a memory
Some wounds know where and
how to hurt you
again again again
never excruciating in
the same way
but unavoidably agonizing
She's a cold one who persists
who hopes the coat protects
who doesn't see the frostbite
who is an unwitting succubus
who poisons the soul with frost
who makes warmth
fade, dwindle, disappear
