Love
Love is a child's game
Love is a game for fools
And I, I am no fool
I am the untouched snow that has never felt heart break
I am the one who you refer to as ice queen
And yet somebody has wormed there way in
The heart I kept protected from the hated emotion is now prisoner
The tears never meant to spill for passion and heart break
Now they fall in rivers
Now instead of chants and hymns of hate
I sing for love
I sing for you
I sing for us
And yet I have never touched you
Have never kissed your lips
Or touched your skin
And I fallow with a blind faith
How stupid I am
How can I do this when I have seen the consequence?
How many friends have I comforted after heart break?
How many times have I said that shall not be me?
How, how do you play this game with me?
How can you stop my mind from being rational?
I beg you to let me go
For I do not want to break your heart
Or have you break mine
Please just let me remember you as sweet
Let me go on hidden under the mask of ice queen
No
What am I saying?
You make me smile
And even if this does end
For a moment I felt as care free as a child
Maybe I'll let my rules bend
Maybe the ice queen's reign will end
You can be every thing
Lover and friend
Just promise me
Promise me
You won't let me fall to far from grace
I don't wish to become a fool
But maybe if it's just for you I can be
I can play pretend for just a little bit
But only if you insist
Perhaps I can do this
Even if it's just this once
I can lose control
Lose myself in the feelings that buzz through me at the speed of light
And I hope
Oh gods I hope
As I spill my tears on this page
That you feel the same
Feel love for me no matter how faint
And even if your love turns to disgust in
A year
A month
A week
I shall still keep you in this coveted space
But know
That my heart
Is only yours
To break
sincerely
