the sound

silent is the sound
of the ice as it cracks
beneath you feet
and inside her chest....

the icy heart...

once melted by a valiant king,
brought to life then stripped away

vulnerability

loneliness

inevitably disappearing..

part of self traded in for parts of him...

once stolen this heart of ice which still beats...

full of blood yet void of life...

alone again
in the shadow of night.
