ice hearts

i’m as free as the heart that falls

like hailstones breaking apart

into ice shards plunging down as

acid rain dissolved into my skin

i’m as free as the words caught

in my throat waiting for the

night i’ll never see her again

hurting like salt on open cuts

i’m as free as the heart that’s

broken into ice pebbles she

crushed with her stilettos but

even then it felt like paradise

i’m as free as how i shouldn't be

thinking about her so i covered

my skin with ice splinters and

crystalized salt yet i feel hollow

i’m as free as the heart that beats

carving itself empty for the person

that broke it apart and in the end

the hailstones they'll melt away
