Heart Like Ice

Like the living Hell it caused me,
But it must have finally froze over.
Maybe it was from so much coldness you sent,
Pumping ice and rock into my bloodstream.

It started out slow, just as anything that freezes,
Circulating through me, as cold as it can be
And the ground up rocks ripped through my veins.
It slithered on, tearing me restlessly and

Causing my outside to bruise grotesquely.
You must have seen it, for the ice and rock in
My blood just kept flowing through as you commanded.
It stop abruptly, shocked and stilled, swishing

In proportion to my movements I could still manage.
But you let it go on then, with only a minute to think.
The iced rock squirted into my heart, and after some long
And painful time, froze it still.

But it still tried to beat, so strained and struggled.
It managed a few drops of love remade, but it only
Defused into the iced rock potion inside me.
My heart had frozen over.
