Heart of Ice
A fire burned deep within his soul
for her, but she was aloof and cold as ice
As his desire blazed out of control
Her frosty emotions became her purposed role
the flames of warmth could not make her nice
A fire burned deep within his soul
No spark of love could make her whole
the embers of passion were a roll of the dice
As his desire blazed out of control
The fire blazed from his head to his soles
her icy demeanor was her only vice
A fire burned deep within his soul
Her frosty heart like an avalanche rolled
a frigid smile would have to suffice
As his desire blazed out of control
But her heart of ice he could not cajole
With tears and despair she paid the price
A fire burned deep within his soul
As his desire blazed out of control
