Frigid

As of now, it all seems quite superfluous,

right? Can’t escape this pit you’re on the brink of

But beware: now I’ve said

because what lies ahead

bears more horrors than you’ve thought to think of.

As you stand, going through your unsnappable

doubt, know there’s something that you’re in the way of

And your feet, they stay trapped

in the frost, and are snapped

by the ache you won’t stand one more day of

So you stab and you pull, now you’re desperate

in fear, and her chains seem to tighten and burn!

You look up through the haze

now you gasp, feel the blaze!

of her arm, and she smiles as you squirm.

As you watch, she exquisitely smiles,

reaches out, then her eyes seem to darken and shine

Now she says, “It will fade,”

as she smiles with her blades,

Ugly terror from beauty sublime.

Now you gasp, your blood spills as her claws pull your heart

and the sinewy bonds start to break

“What you have is bequest,

we can call this a test,

what I give, I’ll as easily take.”

She releases, and smiles as your blood is redrawn

by the thirst of your body: the price?

To endure the sweet pain

and forever remain

as a slave in your queendom of ice.
