Cold, too cold

as if carved of ice

Your heart is frigid

Held dormant in a vise

An inescapable maze

of lavish, deadly traps

Few have ever seen it

You keep it under wraps

But why, my trickster prince,

do you keep it locked away?

Do you fear it should be destroyed

if it sees the light of day?

Won't you set it free?

Allow it to partake in life

Free it from its prison

built of hate and strife

I can hold it dear to me

I can nurture it to grow

My darling mischief maker

Please don't tell me "no"

We can be together

And rule side and side

Conquer all the nine realms

Be the moon to their tide

Where have you gone?

You have left me on my own

Lacrimal rivers overflow

Together we are both alone
