He can feel the ice that runs in her veins
But he holds the key to unlock her chains
To ignite the fire that burns so cold
And see all her secrets as they unfold
She fights against it with all of her might
But within she knows it’s a losing fight
Though this may be one she’d rather not win
She can’t surrender and she can’t give in
She stands there tall and proud
Far away from the crowd
Eyes shining defiantly
Brightly now for all to see
But there’s a coldness in her gaze
And her confidence it betrays
For those who bother to look within
They may see the fire that once had been
But the iciness now within her heart
Shows the ease with which she can fall apart
Free her now from this prison within
Release her from the pain that has been
Holding her soul and crushing her heart
Giving her hope to tear it apart
Let her find the solace she needs
That shred of hope for which she pleads
Though she’s broken and her view left jaded
There’s a light within that’s not yet faded
Give her a chance to rekindle the fire
So that upon those flames she can fly higher
As they consume the past and the pain
And within their heat melt every chain
Never again will she be taken
To a place where she is forsaken
The lightning strikes down upon her heart
But no fire within will it start
The embers have all turned to ash
By this world that has been so brash
And as a cold wind blows through her soul
It takes the pieces that once were whole
Scattering them all far and wide
Leaving emptiness deep inside
She closes her eyes seeking relief
Longing for the poison of belief
But into her veins with an icy grip
The bitterness of life will slowly slip
Taking control of her heart so true
Changing it to such an icy hue
And the coldness reflects behind those eyes
Her fire has met its final demise
She’d rather be numb than feel the pain
And never feel the cold of the rain
From all of the storms that are yet to come
That do their best to make her succumb
So within her heart a vortex forms
And it will consume as it transforms
This heart once on fire to solid ice
But this new future will not suffice
To give up the pain she gives much more
All the happiness that was in store
Fire burning dim in her eyes
As she sees through all of the lies
The reality becoming clear
As she tries to grasp what she holds dear
But all the illusions turn to smoke
And with each breath she begins to choke
Until she can breathe no more
And falls slowly to the floor
The flames consume all in its way
Making the night as bright as day
But the fire is nothing to fear
Though you feel the heat as it draws near
Watch as it dances in the sky
Finding such freedom there up high
Moving and swaying without a care
Breathing and sighing in the night air
Don’t live your life hiding in ice
These flames of love may not come twice
So in your heart let the fire burn
And in your soul let freedom return
As the quiet night settles in
I sit and think of all that’s been
But thoughts will wander and they will drift
And to thoughts of you is where they shift
A saving grace, a shining light
That brightens up the darkest night
And you saved this heart from a fate
Of never knowing all that’s great
So now it pulses in the fire
Of all your unending desire
In those flames I want to stay
Through forever and a day
Thoughts of him race through her mind each night
In her dreams she sees him in full light
She hears his voice and feels his touch
And these feelings become too much
For her simple heart to keep contained
As the light within her is regained
She wants to shout and make it clear
This it is him that she holds dear
And in the morning when she awakes
It’s for his touch alone that she aches
