~~Your Eyes Find Ice~~

Don't touch me

Don't even attempt it

Don't pull me to you

I can't take it

No....Don't kiss me

I'm not worth your love

I try to fight you

But you ignore my shove

You look into my eyes

And smile as you examine me

I glare back at you

Trying to ignore the bit of agony

You inflict with the love

So apparent in your eyes

The caring burning like fire

Setting fire to my lies

I know you see into my eyes

I know you see my soul

I know you see the emptiness

I know you see the hole

I know you feel my heart

I know you feel its stillness

I know you feel my angry eyes' stare

I know you feel how undeserving I am of kindness

But you hold me

Clutch me to you, like I'm the one thing left

You weep and sob into my neck

And I cry, too, bereft

Bereft of my walls at last

Shattered and left exposed

You tremble and I tremble too

Feeling the love you had transposed

Exchanged in place of the emptiness

The thrice-accursed cold

You make me feel alive

The first one I could ever hold....
