Cold As Ice

Cold as  winters breath
Frozen ice inside of me
When will I find an answer
When will it be--when will it be

Lost in the moment
Inside my head
Will it be a hundred years
Or for only a day--only a day

Hands cold as ice
Icicle upon my breath
Defrosting internally
Or will it never be--never be.
