this poem is meant for the Ice king contest. Written about the cold fierce childhood this character had in memory and the damage it did to him. A parent who doesn't show love is rock hard frigid.

Ice King
By Karl Marszalowicz

Null in the numbness
Defunct system collapsing
His blight in my hand

Abuses don't melt
Reliving a time of need
Cold words blistered me      
 
Crying icicles
Shattering a childhood
He liked me frost bit
