Ballad of Fire and Ice

Your body is heat, 

Electric fire

Drowning me

In burning desire

Touching you is volcanic

Setting ablaze my bones

Like walking across

Scorched stones

My body is cold

Chilled bare

My heart lives

In an icy lair

And when I touch you

The fires start

Unveiling

A locked up heart

You’ve melted me away

Left unexposed

Susceptible to feel

Too hard to close

And I want to hate you

For breaking my shell

You’ve brought me to

A heavenly hell

Locked away in ice

I couldn’t feel

My heart didn’t break

It didn’t heal

It was nice

But not as nice as your touch

Never knowing I needed it

So much

And the ice is leaving

The chill is gone

The comfort I’ve known

For so very long

I don’t know if you’re saving me

Or melting me away

But I crave your heat now

Every single day
