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
