Life in a happy heart

Never thought life could be

as beautiful as this;

such bliss and warmth

in an icy loneliness

 

Every degree dropping

accompanied by a tear

Every eighteen months I wish

Someone like her was here

 

Of my heart

an ice rink she has made

digging in deep

with her skate’s blade

 

her and all my bound lovers

across it in freedom glide

their every move

cutting me up inside

 

Do I imagine it all?

A pain self inflicted?

I am “the victim” and

the criminal to be convicted

 

Sentence me please

To life in a happy heart

Because I’m finding joy in misery

And it’s scary when it gets this dark

  1. I really love the image of the heart as an ice rink, being cut while she dances happily – thanks for sharing this.
