"Life was a punch in the jaw and you were the pack of ice I needed." But remember, we have a very complex relationship. We are both poets, destruction is what we are known for. But in reality, They should call us carpenters. We tear down, yes, but we also rebuild. Better, stronger, our feet planted on the ground. Your feet planted on my mind. Frostbite, That is what  you gave me when you just would not let go. Yes I needed an ice pack but not everything can be cold. Your veins frozen solid, Antartica in your heart. I was so used too being frozen over that when the sun came out I thought I was burning. I was burning. The frost already bit me, But all I want is for you to hit me. Hit me with your words one last time. I do not care if you spit razor blades, Your poetic phrases will fill the room. Coat me with metaphors and philosophical ideas like I am the Aristotle too your Plato. When you are done I will spit fire like a dragon. After so many years of being frozen, Im sorry baby, I do not know how too treat a burn wound.

Fire and Ice

Please do not take my words, they are the only thing I have.
