You always believed
yourself to have powers
to thaw the ice
that wrapped itself
in thick sheets
around my heart
I always thought
they were impenetrable
but true as told
your superpowers worked
like magic
or really bad voodoo
because I didn't like
the way you led
yourself into the heart
I meant to keep inside
my chest alone
and unoccupied
and just left there
in my chest- the only
place it's ever
going to be in

How do you make yourself
comfortable in
my heart when I
myself am not comfortable
nor confident it can
keep a beautiful person
like you

I want my heart to stay
the way it was
before anything involving
you had ever even occurred
because my heart
belongs only to my
hollow chest
that had kept it for long
from warmth
people like you carry
and your warm smile
and warm eyes
and warm touch
are not enough to
cover yourself
from the coldness that
is my heart so
best keep away
than freeze
in a forever
that will do you no good
The title was supposed to be [s h e] to make it a POV of a guy but it works both ways so why not turn it to [h e], right? This was inspired by my friend's work [s u n s u m] and the line "It's too cold for you here." from the song [s w e a t e r - w e a t h e r] by [t h e - n e i g h b o r h o o d]
