My Heart

Tempestuous and tortured
Unfeeling and apart
Cold and undesirable
is my frozen heart

Unyielding and unmoving
All kindness must depart
For all is below zero
in my frozen heart

I will not love another.
From this I will not stray.
Deeply cold and frozen
will my hard heart stay.

Do not try to reach it,
some have tried before,
but steadfast in the cold
my frozen heart won’t thaw.

Once I gave my heart
but rejected it became,
so snowy cold I turned
and doused my poor heart’s flame.

So, you cannot change what’s here
however you may dare.
Just leave this wilderness.
Take your warmth elsewhere.
