evaporated

your heart
your emotions
are like a wall of ice
thick as molasses
my axe is plastic
and i cannot break through
the levels of our growth
skewed far
barely touch
and i stretch in this direction
far from you

it does not seem
to make a difference
how i rearrange my words
they are flexible
and i try to make them soft
like flowers
but you twist them
boil them into fire
you think i am a liar
and i cannot reach you

must i scream?
hoot like an owl
peering down in fear?
it feels hopeless and i am dwindling
to the bottom of this pot
evaporated
as i see our love
my heart feels like it is broken
it has been so long
aches and pains
of the ice block that carries you
