She told me her
heart was cold
Only because she
needed to believe it
If I don't respond,
is it a silent nod in agreement?
I neglect to
confront and her words turn to creed.
She told me her
heart was cold,
I had felt it warmer
than the summer sun
Empathy and
compassion could overflow
Every single dam and
wall
Gentle hands, caring
words, sincere concern
She told me her
heart was cold,
Frigid and
impenetrable,
Brittle and ready to
break
I whispered warm
"I love you's"
Into her delicate,
hungry ears
She told me her
heart was cold
I held her close
Feeling her melting,
becoming soft again
Safe to be
vulnerable in this space.
