I built a wall of ice
Blocks of snow around my heart
The cold has seeped into my bones
Freezing me from the inside out
I thought I was protecting myself
But now I’m a prisoner of my own making
For I am numb to the touch
Of warmth and affection
Frozen in time under layers of frost
Each flake a barrier
Between me and the world
Blocking all possibility of love seeping in
So I stand alone in my icy fortress
Waiting for a thaw that may never come
