Molten Heart of Stone and Ice


Cold Rugged and rough Made of hard blistering stone With layers of and layers of shells Cold hard rugged shells Tougher then steel Colder then ice Thats my heart Atleast it was.. Yet, with all that necessary protection you still manage to get inside. You melted all the ice Broke all the steel Unlocked all the locks Smashed all the walls Cracked each shell And decided to dwell inside. Even with each protest I couldn't resist With every reluctant step I couldn't resist I couldn't resist how you made me feel. And the fact that I could feel After so many days spent in a labarynthe of frozen emotions I COULD FEEL! With you I can feel again. My lips curved into an upside down arc My cheeks rose to impeccable heights. My non- chalant fasade dissapeared It was obvious I cared You made me care You made me feel You made me love With you I miraculously feel again And you were so quick to abrogate what I wanted most. Even through all the pain she smiled I didnt know how she did it Me I cried I protested silently fror what I want Loud enough for me to acknowledge But silent enough so you don't She acted like she didnt care Her preformance was flawless No wonder shes considered and actress But me I fell apart Day after day slowly fixing my heart Gluing the cracked shells Mending the steel Freezing the ice to outline it again But each time I tried you just broke it all again It was no use mending the pieces You would just smash through them and live in my heart This never ever ending cycle I knew forever in my heart you would remain. Finally I gave up fixing And gave up breaking I couldnt help feeling and feeling Love Happiness Sorrow Bliss Ignorance Regret Shame Hopeless Hopeful You cursed me I was fine and perfectly non-human. Human! Thats how u make me feel You make me feel With you I can feel again Now I do nothing but feel Feel everything that only weakens yet strengthens my heart. You make me feel. My Cold Rugged and rough Made of hard blistering stone With layers of and layers of shells Cold hard rugged shells Tougher then steel Colder then ice heart can feel. With you I feel. So I guess I will have to feel as long as I'm with you. With you feel again.
