You are the one who pulls the heart from my chest
and eats it, without realizing I've got nothing left
So I'll shiver here, alone
lonely as only a lover can be
I'll sit here and wonder as I taste all the cold
in hopes that you'll rescue me
You are the war that tears me in two
and you're a thousand miles away
you are all the things I cannot say
as I wait for the word to move
Author notes
There are cold times, covered in snow and frost to match the hearts that walk along the streets.
But I won't give up until I have made spring to come.
