Cold Heart

Within the ice laden walls that surround your heart
I'm frozen to you, and ne're shall we part
for though you are cold and hard to reach
I've seen a side of you, that I think I can breach
Once upon a time, you were gentle and kind
I knew you then, I knew your mind
I've seen what the world has done to you
and I'm here by your side, the whole way through
I've loved you so long, my heart beside yours
inside the ice walls, no windows, no doors
but one day you'll see, I mean what I say
I'm not giving up, I'm not going away
one day your heart will begin to melt 
and love that I have for you will be felt.

That is real love with the patience of a saint. I have no doubt your devotion of love will pay off, for it is the true ice breaker. Good luck. Love, Shar
