SNOWSHOES

You can't freeze me out

because regardless of how much of a cold shoulder

you present

despite your snowy gaze

and your ice maiden persona

as much distance as you try to put between us

I shall follow.

I shall trek across any wasteland

seek you

however frostily far you go.

Whatever ways you try to douse my ardor

with cold showers

or icy daggered-looks

I will remain hot for you

and hope someday

you'll warm to my attentions.
