HERE WAS ALL

My world was all ice and crystal. I sat and watched TV like a zombie. Cannot remember the name of the movie. Some japanese animation where everything looked like glass or ice. Colorful. Noble men and women in a world of crystal. I had never seen snow. Never a japanese girl. I was maybe seven and in love forever with a princess that shone like crystals. I cannot remember her face very well. Just the feeling in my heart when she smiled. I wanted to be made of ice and crystal. I wanted to be near her. The film was over. My life was over. This planet here was all I had. It would have to do.
