You looked at me As if I were a whole new world and lit me up All over. Every thawing river, Valley, and grassland Was a new piece of me revealed Beneath your light. Your warmth was a catalyst and we flourished together as we explored. You unearthed ancient fossils From deep within my melting skin: Fragile bones, Cold and rough, Once hidden below the surface. Too many and you were gone, Leaving me Iced over and dark. Uninhabitable and wondering how I could ever forget I was a frozen rock and you were the sun.
