Hazel Ice-age

Since the very first moment

I laid my hazel eyes on you

With your curly black hair

And lanky limbs

I heard that innocent laugh

And a nasal voice that could make

Even the sternest giggle

I knew it was like nothing I had felt before

The sight

The smell

The thought

Of you

Would send my thoughts into chaos

Words unable to escape my lips

My heart yearned for you

Unarmed and begging to be uncovered

Your smile sent steaming blood coursing through my veins

Rushing to my blackened heart tearing through the cobwebs

The ash and debri swept away by the warmth of your lips

Passing glances and tender eyes

My shell punctured from the spark of your fingers

Melted by the warmth of your touch

One day, the air

Cool and calm

All of a sudden

The butterflies are gone

Smothered by an invisible force

Poisoned by a toxin unknown

The cobwebs have begun to regrow

The warmth of your smile no longer able to thaw my frozen heart
