Frozen

When the ice storm came
I was falling, falling, falling
I thought you’d catch me
But you didn’t

When the ice storm came
I loved you—how I loved you
I thought you loved me
But you didn’t

When the ice storm came
I cracked and splintered
When a word from your lips
Said you didn’t

When the ice storm came
I felt frozen, white as porcelain
Sharp as an icicle and twice as brittle
Because you didn’t

When the ice storm passed
I was left like trees that shattered
Into pieces on the ground
Because you didn’t
