vanilla ice.

sweet and tender with a scent that’s almost haunting.

-you can never forget it.
but you managed to shake yourself free
from my clutches of incense;

and you broke through my steel-ice-cold palms
that held your warm heart beside mine,

I tried to stay alive,
but without you and your warmth
it was impossible.

Author notes

prompt: vanilla ice
.. i know it's more of a pink color.. but it was a shade of red :S so hopefully it's alright.

    Hmm. Interesting. Very interesting.

    I wasn't expecting that ending though. Sadly beautiful.

    As long as it was in the hues of red you are fine I really like where the prompt took you. There is much emotion here and it’s refreshing to see the metaphors to boot. Great job.
