You were like summer to the frozen wasteland of my heart
You brought with you lusty life, the heat of passion and fun
But soon enough, with my careless words, selfishness, and indifference
Your smiles, hopes and desire
As nourishing to me as drops of warm rain
Became desiccated...
Until they fell away like Fall leaves
I summoned oceans of your tears
Tasted their salty bitterness
Until you left me
Again winter cold
With the seeds of regret and pain biding their time
Until the hot glare of acceptance
Melts the ice-encrusted mulch of my heart
Allowing them to grow and spread, like a plague© All Textual Rights Reserved by Kristiana Bennett
