Icy

I shut you out
can't get back in 
No talking
No touching
No nothing

I shut down completely
can't hear you
No sound
No words
No nothing

I shut off emotions
can't feel anymore 
Nothing cut
Nothing broken
Nothing

So cold
my heart pumps ice cubed
and snow cones
grace my veins
I'm sorry 
no one lives here
jut the ice that 
was there before!
