Your hand dropped mine

for a fistful of ice

prettier than stone

but its transparency 

is deadly

A stone is truly beautiful

in its core

 

Your fingers are numb

splinters race through your arm

and you watch water drip 

from your knuckles

onto me

 

As your empty hand

begins to thaw

you see what you've done

Your choice has disappeared

and tried to drown me

on its way

 

But I'm still here

Who else 

can say the same?
