Cold Heart - July 30, 2000

At two in the morning
the heart runs cold
as the words filter through,
the blood freezes over

As I stay here
rooted in disbelief,
my thoughts are running
away from the words
that have been
etched in my hearing

Like a shadow 
in the darkest of nights,
I watch,
with bemused detachment
as I become ice
once more.
