The Ice Queen

They said she had a fire in her eyes

But ice in her veins

They said her heart was colder than ice

And loving her would be a waste

I didn’t believe them for she seemed nice

They told me to keep my distance

For she had hurt so and so brutally, for instance

But I guess I wanted to see it for myself

Bask in the warmth of the fire that burned in her eyes;

As I spent more time with you

I noticed the diminishing glow

As you spoke of the shadows troubling you

But I loved, I loved with all my heart

The fire that burnt so bright

And maybe it was its blinding light

That I never saw your betrayal coming.
