Anyway, this is a poem about Camus. I absolutely hate the title, but I can't think of anything better. It's free verse again...still, I'm fairly proud of it.
Ice-King's Victory
No
No more tears
No more pain, no more sorrow
it hurts too much
So you must have said to yourself too many times
before you finally closed your heart
And yet,
in your frozen world of ice
you still loved so fiercely
those that you tried to push away
Knowing one day the people you cared about
would cause you sadness
But your actions go beyond your words of rejection
beyond your frigid stare
beyond your unsmiling face
In the end, warmth wins out
and your cold walls shatter silently
you reach out your hand even as you fall
And his triumph is enough
enough to fulfil your life
enough to melt your defenses
His trust in you
blind, implicit, loving
breaches the parapets around your heart
You gave him this chance
taught him everything you had to give
made him greater even than yourself
Can you still call yourself aloof?
Do you still believe you do not love anyone anymore?
Will you still deny your warm heart?
