Heart of

Cold

Stone

Trying to

Make

Believe

Hide

Afraid if

Anyone

Saw

It is really

Soft

Gentle

Fragile

They would

Kick it

Around

Break it

Tear it

Hurt

Me

So I

Pretend I am

Ice

Hoping

No one

Will

Notice

Protect myself

From

Heartbreak

Pain of caring

Tears of

Losing

Loving

Hoping

No one

Sees

How soft I am

How easily I am

Hurt

Inside

Try to

Hide the

Tears

That come

So easily

Touching my

Heart

Another romantic

Masquerading as a

Cynic

Pretending to be

Someone I am not

Protecting my

Heart
