ICED TEARS
Long ago
she sat
she stared in the frosted glass
mesmerized
defeated
after trying without succeeding
to open her mouth wide enough
rotating the glass
once to the left
twice to the right
with her tongue
which was
never quite as sharp
as the knives and darts
that pained her
no matter
she still could not catch
the
Ice cubes
that cooled
her
Iced tea
her
iced tears
frozen solid
like the memory
of her heart
dragged down ankered with cement
NOW
she mesmerized
by he
she sees his perfection's reflection
him
he who be her newbie sweetie
the ice has
dissapated
her tongue no longer
needs 2 reach
her iced tears
have turned 2
hot chocolate
and now
she cuffs the mug
in the corner booth
of her favorite cafe
and
licks the sweet whipped cream
that the knowledge of
him lovin her creates
within her heart
she is warm now
no more iced tea
no more
iced tears
