deep freeze

it takes time to
unfreeze
what has been
frozen for so long.
it takes heat
and light, and a
gentle hand to carve
away the ice. you
couldn't go on
the way you were,
so cold, so numb
within your wounds.
it was no way to
live, safe within
your cave, untouched,
unloved, unflinching
in your hardened way.
