Melting

His words
So enticing
So enveloping
So entrancing

Every word like
Hot caramel
Melting slowly
Dripping over my cold
Aching, lifeless heart
With each invited spoonful

A heart
So decayed
Irreparably
My being
curled up in a ball
of nothingness
Denying any feelings
Slowly recovering from empty

Hope has found me
Warming up to words
Appearing from thin air

I now exist
Simply
And have created hope
Where there was once nothing
