Ice Poem by Claire Ann Sansolis

I thought I am someone who really understands you
When you have rough times and challenging ones too
I used to formulate of encouraging words to say
And see how my words can make your day

I took the time to know how you are
Can’t sleep ‘til I prayed for you at night
In the morning I check if everything’s fine
But you never bothered to respond

Sometimes I wonder why you are cold as ice
Is it your choice? Your background, or your past?
I tried to relate, went past your barriers
But all you gave was an empty face

Emotionally you are still very much a child,
Last week I learned your taste is wild
At all counts we are two poles apart
Time and again you successfully break my heart

I asked you thrice if not twice
If you got the email I sent as surprise
I waited thinking you are noble and kind
To answer discreetly, yet you were unwise

You failed the test again and again
I wondered is there any left to start over again
You failed to recognize and judge the times
Since the season for us has now passed

Disappointed I will leave you in your unfriendliness
You think it’s cool, I see it as selfishness
I can no longer see and follow your lead
It’s time, I’ll move on, too bad, you failed to heed
