One into Another

There she sits, all stiff
and rigid in her finery;
She does not look up,
will not give you a glance.
God forbid,
forbidden fruit;
you are her nemesis,
the threat to her throne -
built of ice -
frozen.

But you are just as cold.
Frozen in your secrets
locked out of this queen's castle.
If you think for a second
she will let you in,
beware.
Beware the cold stare, the
hard heart and your part.
You are the unwanted one.
Not a friend.
Just an extra.
Sometimes worthy,
usually not.

You made it out
to be this way.
Once a friend,
now an extra.
Always looking for
the way to her heart,
to melt her stare
into liquid -
the liquid of your dreams.

No, this is not about you.
