the girl of stone.

Keep your distance
reach for me slowly
no sudden movements
I’m denying I’m lonely
widdle me down
warm me up
before you test my heart
or still you’ll find it’s hard
hit     hit     hit
with a hammer
does it even crack?
even just a sliver?
If it does keep on me
keep warming and testing
for only you can bomb the shell
and endure me
until my heart is soft enough
to touch
to hold
to cling to
and
then you’ll make a difference
and be in the books
for melting
the girl of stone.
