"Glacial"
As I look on the dark and wintry night,
I can't help but compare this to my heart,
How I longed to see a bit of warm light,
How I wish to the loneliness I part.
I desire the feelings I see they feel,
I want to feel the feelings left unshared,
To feel what other's feel, To love for real,
And I hope from this sadness I'll be spared.
To be free from this eternal sorrow,
And to find happiness is what I crave,
Oh, how I wish it would be tomorrow,
that I will abandon this glacial grave.
Oh, sadness, how I wish to desert you,
When that day comes I'll surely start anew.
