Ice

Moving slow
On the ice
Then gliding and spinning
Flying through the wind
The ice under me
Spinning me faster and faster
Gliding and pivoting
The ice smooth and silky

Hard and rough
The terror as I spin out of control
The ice
Once a friend
Now a fiend
Breaking me from dreaming

Stepping out once again
The dreams vanishing
Gliding back out
Holding my breath
The audience gasping

Letting out the stale breath
The loud gasp filling the air
Stumbling
Falling
Gasping for breath
Grabbing at the air

The dream now broken
Wishing to go back to the ice
The fiend
Once a friend

A friend who broke me
A friend who stabbed me through the back
Nothing holding me there
The ice cold like fire

Burning and hurting me
No matter
The pain pushes me
Back to the ice
Again and again

I wrote this a while ago and I first released it on the poetry amino app. It got featured and people seemed to have liked it so I thought that I would release it here too, since I haven’t posted in a while. Hope you enjoy it.
