Thaw my Heart
Did frost bite me?
I feel nothing.
If I had a heart at all
it would be frozen cold.
My tears are falling,
yet I feel nothing.
If I had a soul at all
why do I feel so cold?
Keep away!
You do not know who I am.
Keep away!
You're too great to be my victim.
Be afraid!
Do not fall for how lost I am
Be afraid!
Or you shall be my victim.
Wait, something has changed.
I feel warm and strange.
Who are you that you shine?
Your are thawing my ice!
How you smile at me
through the danger I bring!
Leave me and my wild heart!
I will make you fall apart!
Keep away!
It is better for the both of us.
Oh, please stay!
Am I fool to ask? Is it just?
Be afraid!
I'm falling for your warmth.
Please be brave!
Could you thaw my frozen heart?
