From underneath the frozen smile, <br />My heart melts to silently cry. <br />The burning emotions from the days <br />When these embers were all ablaze, <br />Now rekindled by the fire in your eyes, <br />They burn with revenge for all the times <br />Every eye coldly looked the other way. <br />Brutally wasted, they left me where I lay. <br />Slowly I could feel the chill in my spine <br />Spread more and more each and every time <br />The cold blind stares refused to see <br />The horror and pain they unleashed on me. <br />Had to learn to become fiercer than ice, <br />Colder than their coldest vice. <br />Had to learn to welcome with frozen smiles <br />All those I met as I walked the miles. <br />Not many bothered to stop and hold, <br />To seek the fire beyond the wall ice-cold. <br />Those who cared to stay found their place <br />In my heart and it’s warm embrace. <br />The glow of embers behind the icy wall <br />Beckons you as it shouts it's call, <br />“Break the Wall! ” it pleads to your glowing gaze <br />Come into my world; make your place to stay.<br /><br />Vidushi Khera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fire-in-ice/
