Incomplete

A seductive caress

Of icy fingers

Tantalizing

The hairs

At the back of my neck

A gentle fear

Creeping up on me

Building my trust

And luring me closer

I see only darkness

Yet I yearn for light

The seduction changes

Into a looming horror

That overtakes my senses

And breaches the sanctity

Of my sanity

The flames are fanned

And the inferno spreads

How will I save myself

From burning down to ash

In this fire

Of my own creation

Let in

By my own negligence

Oh how I was deceived

By that cool outward appearance

Not knowing

Not caring

That in its depths

Lay my destruction

Engulfed

In icy embers

So hot

So cold

So final

So incomplete
