*****************************

the ice melts

slowly

dripping away

and no matter

how hard

you tried

to stop yourself

from caring

it didn't work

it never does

not with people

like this

and it seems like

for a minute or two

they could understand

this thing

this weight

that you carry

on your shoulders

some days

in your smile

on others

what would you

call

the burden

i would call mine

sadness

tinged with

love

because if you've

never loved

you have

never felt

pain
