FrostBitten

My Heart must be one cold, hard thing

to think such a beast a beauty.

Dusting the land in a icy glitter,

its aim to redden the noses and

bite the cheeks of all who pass.

 

But i let it in,

aware of animals need for warmth,

and trees need for light.

I am selfish.

I want to capture the scene

with a click of my eyelids

and store behind beautiful.

 

I feel dark,

a guilty pleasure to myself.

Heart; rigid and stubborn as a broken clock.

 

But thoughts of Who

What

Where you are

trickle syrupy into my heart,

releasing the icy grip of the elements.

I feel loveable, normal,

like i could see good in anything.

 

I am scared of your power,

but in awe of your skill
