the sapphire blue
of the ice inside her soul
slowly melted
bit by bit

as he took her hand into his
the warmth radiated throughout
the whole of her being
she had never existed so brightly

her eyes
they shone so bright
her lips
they curled into a smile

maybe i can finally be loved
she mumbled
as the last of the icicles
melted into the last water drop
that dripped onto the pool of water
