Ice

Melt this ice from around my heart,

Take these chains, rip them apart.

Dry these tears that freeze within

Make me feel whole again.

Make my smile, reach my eyes,

Show me, that I am still alive,

Love from me, you can entice,

If you chip away, this block of ice.

I have love deep down inside,

Behind this frozen ice, it hides.

I want your sunshine, that can hold it at bay,

Show me your love, that can melt it away,

Take me in your arms, it will be all right,

The ice will melt, if you hold me tight.

Only you, can set my soul aflame,

and melt the ice, that remains.

Ice cold diamonds

reflected images bright

mirrored distortion

slowing melting in the light

For so long my heart was as cold as ice

But you lied and said it’d be alright

So I melted from the touch of your words

And you left me there, a puddle of water

And now I wait for the wintered nights

So My heart can go back to being as cold as ice

Four loves I've had and people talk.

So what! I block them out

like earplugs, like chunks of icebergs

falling off into the ocean, drifting

away melting as they go

until I forget that they were

and all that talk - about

as important as the leftover

ice in my glass.
