Taking It Back

I am taking it back

little by little

Letting myself be enjoyed,

complimented,

caressed

for the first time

The ice is softening,

and I mind it a little,

but not a whole lot

Can feel it dripping onto my clothes,

soaking them through

And you think it would feel cold,

but I feel so very warm

Floating here,

light and heavy,

I think I could get used to this
