Melt

Love melted away from our hands I sculpted it perfectly before it melted from our hands Ice sculptures that only we could see Elegantly standing in Artic Country Summer brought upon seasons of change. Summer Sun dissolved Love Love melted away from our hands. Love left without warning; and we tried to salvage it Unprepared, the icier liquid, was already free flowing Flooding our lives, monumentally knowing Love melted away from our hands. I thirst for one last drink, but I am Hesitant to the poisoning. Love melted from our hands; and Icicles we had hidden high in mountain tops, Just for moments like this, started thawing Have you ever heard Hatred Thawing? Love melted from our hands Leaving traces of my anger and vehement words I have said I felt love pour over my fingertips Too fast to save, or even siphon it Then Sorrow flooded over my lips of red From my eyes, tears traveled in currents Trickling down salty tears from the great ocean. Inside me. My eyes welling up.washing away all of my anger. Until I am finally clean off this break up I can only hope that wishing will bring me better weather. We watched love melt away from our hands.
