FROSTBITE (HEART EXPOSED TO EXTREME COLD)

His heart is as cold as ice 
I try my best to cave through but everything freezes. 

Let me in! I beg. 

His heart; consumed with fear,

Too drunk within his emotions, coward he is 

His walls are up again 

With emotions scarred into his skin with markings of a pen. 

Voice shaking, confused and lost in his thoughts. 

He tells me goodnight, talk to you later. 

My heart screamed No! 

But my lips moved, only for me to say okay. 

Tears well up my eyes

I got sucked into his darkness. 

I let my heart deceive me, believing in something that is long gone. 

And now all my tender parts have departed:

• Icy frost
• Rock cold
