perfectly protected by the enemy

it is as if my broken window is mocking me.
i struggle to find something that will hide me from this frozen stillness invading my room.
my vision is now blurred and i just want warmth.
soon i am wrapped in what i think will save me.
doubt.
i was tricked, a little, when i chose her.
naive and desperate.
she seemed good because she was familiar.

soon, i am fast asleep.
slowly she releases me and slinks over to my other window and cracks it.
the perfect protection is mauled and broken.
as soon as the crystal clear divider is gone, she tears at the walls on either side: total destruction.
her job is done.
she tiptoes back and wraps her arms around me.
my breath turns to ice as soon as it leaves my mouth.

you see, deception, at her finest is doubt.
confident that i would be safe, i was betrayed.
while defenseless i was left only to be returned to even more broken.
