it's like ice, she said

the contents of my heart

shaded in black, but filled in with red

*

tattered are the corners, jagged the edge

torn from the pages of a fairytale

it's like ice she said

*

i let the thought run away with my head

the idea of it, soft and smooth, still unbroken

shaded in black, but filled in with red

*

it's like ice, she said

not at all what i'd planned

shaded in black, but filled in with red

*

i fell for the ruse

let the game make the rules

all i've to show for it, is broken and bruised

*

maybe i'll start over, create my own, instead

leave the fairytale for make believe

it's like ice, she said

shaded in black, but filled in with red
