"When it's gone, you'll know what a gift love was."
Ian McEwan, Enduring Love. Prose or poetry.

the maze of your ice age

you leave me frozen

like a statue in a snowstorm

i sacrifice my world

for the ice king

who leaves me

with thoughts that shatter

my heart

endlessly

my sacrifices

invisible like the pain you cause

you never stop

the cycle repeats

reminding me

of my imperfections

you've turned me

into a walking trainwreck

a disaster waiting to happen

and I can't seem to escape the tracks

you've laid down

but once i find my way out

of your heart's escape room

you'll finally see as you seep

into the emptiness

i'll leave

like i never loved you

at all

and then

when it's gone

you'll know

what a gift

love was

once upon

a

time
