i have a heart of ice.

or at least,

i had.

i guess i left it sitting in the warmth too long,

and not in the darkness, where it belongs.

back to the cold and the damp, 

we go.

i pray it doesn't take too long to refreeze. 

there's a comfort, i feel, that is only obtained through cold.

wrap me, shroud me, in cold and in ice.

let me bask in comfort and peace, 

in the cold.

hide myself in ice, once more.

a crystalline heart.

and this time,

i promise,

i won't let you sit in the warmth too long.
