yes, i am cold
but i have to be

for when your heart melts
into a puddle of sorrow and rejection
you can do one of two things:

continue to melt until you evaporate into nothingness
or
freeze your heart into ice so it is whole again

yes, the ice slices my chest
and tears me apart each movement.
yes, i can no longer love again.

but i am alive.
