Step 1
"I love you."
Get your ready-made heart
Tender from the bruises
Because of last night's dream about him

Step 2
"I still care for you, as a friend."
Season with salt
Not the type that comes in a box
But the special kind
That comes from his warm breath
And magically condenses on your cheeks

Step 3
"So I like this girl now.."
Let it sizzle
From the uncontrollable jealousy
Let it spit
At that innocent girl
But let's not kid ourselves now
The only thing getting burnt
Is your heart

Unexpectedly
A layer of frost
Surrounds your heart
A defensive mechanism
Now an ice box

Exhausted
From the painful bruises
The salty tears
Burning anger
The icy numbness

Darkness takes over.

Repeat step 1
