Girl of Ice and Snow

My body freezes over a little more
As they turn their back,
As they shut the door.

So many people have come and gone,
Meeting me at sunset
And leaving me at dawn.
So many people have used me,
As I was just a pawn.

People just get colder
As I get older.

They turn me to ice
As they turn their backs
Once, twice,
Sometimes even thrice.

When they crawl back,
Though temporarily,
The ice begins to crack,
But only momentarily.

When you leave
I freeze,
Even more
Than before.

I am a girl of ice and snow,
All the warmth gone
I had years ago.
