Analysis of Heart Ice



The icy shards hold true,
drawing blood from
his well-meaning hands,
but he does not relent.

Let go your wretched grip!
Your heat is no threat
to the frozen chambers
and years of glacial torment.

Cutting raw again
into scars so old,
there is no more pain,
and no more life in me.
