Frozen

Frozen

I see it all right before me.
Yet I can’t seem to reach it.
Ican’t seem to move towards it.
I desire it.
I want it.
I need it.

Yet, I stand here still.
My heart beating.
My feet not moving.
For I am here, simply frozen.

Where do I begin?
How do I start?
Which foot first?
I am frozen still.

Time moves on.
The sun rises.
The sun sets.
I am frozen.

Standing in place.
Like a statue.
Only with a heartbeat.
Still watching it go past me.
I am frozen still.

You come towards me.
I want to say “hello”
I just watch you walk on.
You look my way.
I can’t move.
I am frozen.

You turn to me now.
You smile.
You say a warm “hello”
I begin to melt.
I begin to unthaw.

Our eyes meet.
I see into your soul.
I know you see mine too.
And yet you don’t run.
You take my hand.
I am melting.
frozen no more.
