Its cold outside

And Winter in my soul

The virgin snowfall numbs my thoughts

And my eyes and ears are frozen whole

 

Still cold and colder still

Passion frozen as passion will

And still the snowflakes fall

As silently as a snowflake tends to fall

 

As cold as cold can be

And the heat within means nothing

It’s the heat from a thousand words in motion

Frozen thoughts, hot emotions

 

I can’t say the words no more

I can’t go on with this charade

I’m hardened now to tell the truth

Its over, I’m afraid

 

So the arctic chill is passed to you

And the winter snowflakes that you brush away

Are tears of sadness in your eyes

Tears that signal love’s demise.
