the ice around her heart was an illusion

she thought it kept her safe and far from harm

quickly she learned the truth from her confusion

there’s no escaping lies, laced with charm

*

so she added flames erupting from her fingers

no one would dare intend to cause her pain

alas, she found the ache inside just lingered

she vowed never to use her heart again

*

but, a heart of ice and fingers of fire became her prison

and she, the only prisoner it held

seems the only thing that fear kept hidden

was the true expression of how she really felt

surreal poetry
