To Protect a Heart
by Birgitt Schuknecht
ICE
To long a time without a sob
To long a time without a laugh
Being without feeling was so good at first
Being freed from emotion was so right at first
After too much turmoil in heart and soul
ICE took care of his inner self
After too many tears glistening in his eyes
ICE made sure they never were spilled
But losing fears meant losing courage
And losing tears meant losing laughter
And losing despair meant losing hope
And losing insecurity meant losing trust
Now that ICE froze his inside
It began showing on the outside
Eyes being ICE blue
Smiles being polite
Appearance stiff and rigid
Heart and Soul... frozen
FIRE
To long a time with too much anger
To long a time with too much hate
Being burned by feelings was so good at first
Being heated by emotion was so right at first
After too much turmoil in heart and soul
FIRE took care of his inner self
After too many tears glistening in his eyes
FIRE made sure they never were spilled
But feeling anger meant losing sympathy
And feeling hate meant losing love
And feeling arrogance meant losing compassion
And feeling independence meant losing trust
Now that FIRE burned his inside
It began showing on the outside
Eyes being blazing green
Smiles being arrogant
Appearance cramped and aggressive
Heart and Soul... burned
ICE and FIRE
ICE and FIRE meeting
Melting the frozen heart, cooling the burning soul
ICE starting to fear, FIRE giving him courage
FIRE stopping his anger, ICE giving him sympathy
ICE starting to cry, FIRE laughing with him
FIRE stopping hate, ICE loving with him
ICE starting to despair, FIRE giving him hope
FIRE stopping arrogance, ICE giving him compassion
ICE starting to feel unsure, FIRE trusting him
FIRE stopping independence, ICE trusting him
Blues eyes locking with green
Heart and Soul
FIRE and ICE
United
