/Melt/

v. 1. to become or make something become liquid as a result of heating: as one would with butter for pancakes or a mind as it ventures down an endless subconscious road

v. 2. to become or make a feeling, an emotion, etc. become gentler and less strong: her beautiful smile melted away the tension, as drops of the sky's darkened gaze would trickle onto the land below in slants of warm orange and yellow/ as the crisp folds of your bed would melt around you, the first rays of sunlight weaving like a bright thread through the silvery black/ as your mind would slowly lift you off the rocky road with feathery hands, pulling you farther away from the end of the path you've treaded down all night/ as the treasure chest under your pillow would bleed, what with all the coins rusting a rotten orange/ as your mind would know you again as the poor old you/ as another tale remains a rope swinging in the morning breeze, frayed at its end.
