defrost

it took a heatwave
to finally get through
your frozen exterior
melting
ever so slightly
giving a glimpse
of what you have hidden
in your heart

burying memories
in an ice chest
won’t change reality

defrost your protective shell
let me help
your not fragile
your not brittle
you won’t shred into a
cone of ice shavings

let the warmth
of this heatwave
embrace you
let me too

your heart needn’t hurt
opening one’s self once more
yes
a risk
to adore

defrost
my dearest
defrost
my darling
defrost
in my loving hug
