mellifluous

thaw

i find myself losing my thoughts to

delusions of sticky honey, pooling in the

cavity where my brain used to be and

flowing out of my mouth, running down my chin,

pooling on the hot concrete beneath my feet for

only a second before melting away. longing for a

sweetness it can never rival, the sweetness of your

touch against my skin as we lay in a tent

pitched in my field, a blanket under our bodies and

we are pressed so tightly together they

look like one. pointing at the myriad

of stars shining down on us, winking like they

know something they don't as you

show me constellations, tracing them on my back. i shiver

at your touch despite the stifling july heat and

we fall asleep there to the cicada lullaby, your

arm still wrapped around me, a constellation name

lingering on your tongue, waiting to be spoken. feeling

infinite. like we had the chance to last. like nothing

in the world could possibly stop us as long as

we had each other.

but everything comes to an end. even us.

and when my eyes meet yours in passing, all i

see is ice, starting in your eyes and continuing all the way

down to your heart. and i want to remind you of

our love, hoping it will bring you back to me because

i've always been told true love can heal anything. hoping that reliving

the summer heat will free your heart from the cold

overtaking it, that it will beat and beat until the ice shatters and

your gaze warms again and we feel as infinite as the stars again, but somehow

i don't think you want to melt. 

A/N: i've never really liked this one, but i sent it to a few of my friends and they really liked it, so i figured i'd share it with y'all. i'm pretty sure i was listening to frozen when i wrote this, so there's a serious influence there. anyway, i hope you like it! xoxo, winter.
