I was happy
Playing
My part
She fired
A sliver
Of ice into my heart
I shrugged it off
I danced
I laughed
The ice went deeper
Into my heart
I worried at it
I picked I squeezed
My punctured heart
Began to bleed
So I ran away
And ran so fast
It stabbed me every
Beat of my heart
I went to sleep
And overnight
My heart had hardened
Into ice
So now I'm famous
For my emptiness
I am a suitor
Of the ice empress
