Ice

Flickering screens of
all my wost memories
projected on the walls,
wrenching flashbacks
of the pain.
These constant reminders
tear at my sanity.
Of your faces and eyes.
They'd been so animated
but now lay still and empty.
I touch your empty hand
but it was uncomforting.
Like ice.
Freezing my blood in its path.
Your arms were once open
but now forever are closed.
You'd always been
generous.
caring.
sweet.
But its all gone now.
My tears had long run dry
and my mind was reduced
to numbness.
The frost knaws on my fingers
and the icy form that was once you
gets lowered into the ground.
I collapse. I don't care.
I care only that you're gone.
