Your smile is like sunshine
Painting my body
With a fresh coat
Of warmth.
Kissing my body
With its warm glow.
The feeling
Of wearing socks
On a particularly
Cold day.
*
But your words, are icicles
Wrapping me
With ice
Melting the warm glow
Left behind by
Your fake sunshine smile.
I’m frozen
And no sock
Is warm enough
To keep the chills away.
-The Girl Lost In The Bookstore
