I look at you like you're perfect for me.
you stare back into my eyes
and we have matching rosy cheeks.
snow keeps softly hitting my nose.
you loved the winter time,
I hated the cold.
you kept me warm
like it was the end of the world.
you loved these moments together
here in the snow.
hugging me while I shivered,
like you were protecting me from the weather.
pretending you were the only one
with a heart of ice.
expecting like we weren't done,
like I'm a tourist attraction.
but after all the frostbite
you gave to me,
I'm the real heart of ice
and I've never felt so free.
you really expected me to take you back?
like I'm SO forgiving.
like I'm SO understanding.
but I am no toy to be played with.
I am my own kind of woman.
I can warm myself up.
I don't need a man in the winter,
especially one who thinks I'm that messed up.
I know you want to go back again
to the winter, in the snow,
but I wish you knew me then,
I preferred dancing in the rain.
but now I'm waiting at the train station,
on my own,
wishing we had that "movie love"
while snow softly hits my nose.

All I can say is I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS...and felt it all the way through! One can't care without first learning the value of self-care! Beautifully written and expressed!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! My goal was to really express the emotions intended for this story. Self-care is a super important lesson that unfortunately not everyone experiences. I appreciate the support!
Oh you're welcome! Keep writing! You hit the mark!
