Cold Hearted


With chapped lips and an aching heart,

I dream of glaciers drifting apart.

Heavy tears freeze as they graze air,

a blizzard arises as I feel your stare.

I recall the first day you loved me, 

locked me away--swallowed the key.

Please keep me as close as you desire,

make this cold love cease to expire.

Don't melt my snow with your heat,

for the calm after my storm cries defeat.
