The Cold Inside My Heart

Amidst the howling sky outside

The wind is rushing by

I cannot see ahead of me

I'm scared that I may die

Fear penetrates into my mind

My hands grow chilled as ice

Stiffened joints

I cannot move

From the cold inside my heart

My hope is growing bleaker

As I wonder what to do

I wish I had a smiling friend

Or felt that I belonged

To find where I am not locked out

And I am not ignored

Nobody's there

I'm all alone

With this cold inside my heart

No light shines through

The windows, shut

There is nowhere I can run

I'm trapped within this darkened space

Longing to escape

My knees are pulled up to my chest

As I try to find some warmth

And my ears are shining brightly pink

From the cold inside my heart

All I need is one true act

Not hidden behind lies

Then my heart will warm again

And I'll make my escape

Away from the life I once lived

I'd throw away my mask

But still, I'm shrouded by a fog of gloom

From the cold inside my heart

People crowd all around

Yet I am still alone

In a world where I'm invisible

I just want to get through

I hold my head up high

For the faces that can't see

I want to flee

Want to let go

Of this cold inside my heart

All I feel

All I see

Is the cold inside my heart
