A Melting Rose on Solid Ice

Literature Text
Why do the roses
Melt against my skin?
But the ice in my eyes
Remains frozen in place
Despite the heat
Despite fire
The ice holds strong
Like a brick wall
I wish I could let go
Set the flood waters free
Drown myself in them
Let their cold consume me
Roses bloom on my arm
Killing butterflies
They melt so easily
Into place
But the ice is unmoving
It holds still in my eyes
Refusing to show the color
Behind it
No more roses bloom
But they still grew easier
Than melting the ice
That survives still
In my eyes
Melt against my skin?
But the ice in my eyes
Remains frozen in place
Despite the heat
Despite fire
The ice holds strong
Like a brick wall
I wish I could let go
Set the flood waters free
Drown myself in them
Let their cold consume me
Roses bloom on my arm
Killing butterflies
They melt so easily
Into place
But the ice is unmoving
It holds still in my eyes
Refusing to show the color
Behind it
No more roses bloom
But they still grew easier
Than melting the ice
That survives still
In my eyes
A poem about how it's easier for me to bleed than to cry.

When I first read this, and reached the ending, I had a gut feeling that I had read a work of yours before. I did a whole search and what I found was this work:
Truth be told, I'm impressed. This work is visual, no doubt, but the visual nature of this work is good and it works to its benefit. At the same time, I found its themes and subject matter unique and I can honestly say that it does discuss the concept you've highlighted in your artist description really well. Good job
He Eats CatsThe nightmares grab hold
Tight around my neck
Hold me there shaking
Breaking a sweat
"Good kitty... Nice kitty..."
Just let me go
I cry out
Scared
So so scared
Why?
Why me?
Please let me go
I'm just a little girl
You're too old, you touch me
I scream,
in my mind
Bad touch, bad touch
No one is here
Only you, only me
"Good kitty... Nice kitty..."
And it's over
