Melting Ice




Yesterday was the first time
you said you've loved
Grim face and emotionless tone
as if you've said it a million times to exhaustion
but owning it
Just before tilting a glass to your lips
and letting the ice cubes fall
with just enough time to allow
the ice to melt and leave a wet kiss
It looked like a resurfacing battle wound
