Cold Shoulder

have been given
the cold shoulder 
icy cold encounters 
are now the new norm 
within our realm of reality
the sea of change hath frozen over
there is black ice upon the broken 
bridge of chance 
tried to move across the iced over sea 
suddenly the ice began to creak underneath
my bare feet then the ice finally broke 
causing me to fall into the freezing water
tried to escape the icy waters 
was able to finally pull myself 
back up onto the icy surface 
did not come out unscathed as 
a result of the fall i experienced 
emotional frostbit

I really liked this. I wrote a song once titled "Cold Shoulder" but I like your piece of art much better.
