Icy Heart

bitter love, icy to the touch

breaks with a snap, this heart so cold

resisting comfort at every turn

choosing to remain out of the fold

warmth has departed from this soul

the core is all frozen solid

spreading through this poor creature

left unchecked, will become squalid

ever to roam the wilderness

so bitter and broken hearted

shivering, it`s chilled to the bone

as sadly love has departed

please take pity of this creature

for this could be you one day

show mercy to the ones that need it

kindness can start in such a small way!
