Heart of Ice

The beat of rain upon the land
Broken teardrop in my hand
Shattered remains upon the ground
My beating heart the only sound
A twisted tale chiseled in stone
Stories forgotten as the voices drone
Heart of ice, frozen in time
Far away, bells start to chime 
The wind whispers through the trees 
Voices carried on each breeze
Cries and sobs drown each bell
Secrets kept that no one shall tell
A tear cast aside that came to you
Reflecting anger and lies turned true
A tear that fell, yet went unshed 
An unseen symbol filled with dread 
Lonesome night to wash away 
Heart wrenching pain of another day
The shattered pieces of a broken heart 
Sewn together yet fallen apart
Broken tear the remains of a love 
That burst to flames sent above
Heart of ice turned to stone
These silent voices start to drone
They tell these tales as though the end 
Was at their side until they send
Each tale to lay before these lies 
Glittering shards of diamond eyes
This heart of ice is the only link 
Chained in black bound by ink
Surviving each day by only a drop 
Lest its beating was ever to stop
As each day slowly wears on 
The last shreds of hope are long gone 
In the fields of glass, of diamond lies
Unseen by all except dreaming eyes
The spirits lie, awaiting the sacrifice 
That is to be this heart of ice.
