FROZEN HEART

 

 

Inside this emotionally frozen tundra; beats my alienated heart 
Isolated and frustrated, it grew tired of love’s false starts 
Exhausted from the fruitless revving; my engine needed a jump 
Just a little something to keep it warm; it just wanted a little bump 
See my past was an icy abandon; it refused to let me go 
So I found myself taking comfort in any bed outside the snow 
I was not proud of my choices but they helped me to survive  
Those lovers were just warm comforts that helped me feel alive 
Flash-frozen and heartbroken, I always longed to see the Sun 
I am tired of this petrified existence; my heart is searching to find someone 
I want to be their blossoming flower, living and basking in their radiant light 
Snuggling inside the warmth of their arms as we lay enlaced at night 
My heart will no longer be frozen; it will find love anew 
I will live in the heat of their passion, warmed by a love that is forever true

Very well written piece man. I believe at one point in every persons life our Heart is frozen. Whether it be from a past relationship or just scared of being broken. And your right in the heat of the moment a human will seek comfort in the arms of someone. lol I think it's the way we're wired.

I agree with you. It is not uncommon to seek the heat of a fire just to stay warm. Thanks for reading.

Verrrry good piece I thoroughly enjoyed reading...and remembering vaguely, that dusty road traveled.
Can't tell you how cool it is to see such essence from another male, the rarity...

Awesome work, Eddie, keep it up!
