Analysis of So Cold Is My Fire
Eyes so cold they touched my soul,
a kindred spirit smiled,
a touch that froze my heartbeat,
all my warmth defiled.
All emotions left in me,
quickly died with you,
why do I need love you ask,
when feelings they are few.
Ice or glass her eyes do seem,
a sparkle captures me,
to look inside your diamond stare,
Is where I wish to be.
No emotions do I feel,
I die for you each day,
darkness lit by eyes so cold,
yet here I wish to stay.
