Fire and Ice
*******************
Our gazes meet-
Green and blue burning into each other
Blazing the moment in memory
Perhaps for the last time
But not the first
Five years ago we parted ways
Exchanging this same glare
Of opposing elements
It was then, in despair
In fear, in madness
I sparked this hateful flame
Burning in your eyes
You've fanned it, fought it
Made it your tool
Yet there are places where fire cannot go
A hidden place, heart-frozen
Which none can warm
(Though she has tried)
Who are you?
Do you even know?
You have been called (wrongly!)
My toy, my pet, my shadow...
No. We are inverse of elements
Then, also, in madness
In fear, in desperation
I made this frigid shell
Which shows in my stare
I shielded myself, was frozen
Would not show emotion
Yet something intense burns
Just beneath the surface, soul-fire
Which none have seen
(No, not even Mother)
What am I?
Am I still human?
Or am I that forsaken?
A monster, fallen angel, too cold...
No. Your memory still warms me
This will be the last time we meet in hate
But will the fire be extinguished
Or the ice be destroyed
Or will we come together
And be, for the first time
Whole?
