There will be a time

There will be a time

When this kingdom of ice that surrounds you

Will begin to melt

And when it does the darkness deep inside your soul

Will grow

Until it is impossible to see anything clearly

Your heart will ache

As you feel parts of your old self break

And there may be

Years and years and years

Of tears

And confusion

Stay here in the melting

Be still inside of the dissolving

Allow the fire to burn you clean

Even though it feels like you will never rise another day

For something important inside of you is growing

That so needs your affirmation and tenderness

And until you find a way to give this to yourself

There will not be a way forward

Because what you need

All of the answers your seek

Honestly

Sleep inside of your heart
