_{she caught your eye one day- while you were standing behind a counter; behind the wall you had built; behind the coldness in your eyes. she was everything that could melt the ice that had prickled your heart all these years- but you pushed her away, as the fledgling does the nest- and so you lost the sparkle in her eyes and let the cold seep deeper still.

you came across her again, many months later, her beauty more radiant than ever- your frost spread through your limbs reaching for her warmth. her draw was like that of a flame, so tempting to reach into and capture and yet so dangerous to those who desire to contain it. fire breaks glass and ice and men. your eyes melted at the sight of her and chilled again with every moment you spent separate.

--

it went like this on and off; days upon days of cold winters submerged in the frozen hell you made your home, only to be rescued briefly by a gimps of the sun- your north star, shining bright. you notice, however, that her warmth is felt by others and the frigid grip of jealousy takes hold upon your heart and soul and festers within you until the warmth seems to scald your icy being.

you are the winter and she the summer;
you are the lover and she the loved;
you are the murderer she is the victim.

as you look into her cold eyes you whisper to the wind, "if i cannot feel the warmth, no one can"}
