Climbing Walls of Ice

You sit there and stare
Ice shards fall from your lips
Cold hands balled into fist
Hang tight and cold by your hips.

Walls surround the fragile state
That you surround yourself with
In order to meditate on the pain
The loss, the suffering

And here I stand
A flame that won't burn out
A light to guide you back home
To show you what it means to be unconditional.

These walls that I climb
Time after time
Just to reach you
Each time to convince you

But you refuse to see
That you melt when you are with me
That this passion could be yours
If you didn't lock yourself in icy walls

Hate and grief
Unending belief
That your ice sculpted heart
Is protected and apart

I am here to tear it from your chest
To love you like I know is best
To wrap you in this raging fire
And give you a taste of this desire

I'll climb those walls
I'll burn down the protection
And we can melt together
In one last night of passion
