You thought I was cold
Didn’t you, unable to burn
Like a sparked-out fuse,
Ice-blue and unfeeling, thousand-year-old
Stardust that only hits your eyes
When your love’s been sold.
You thought I wouldn’t open,
That’s true, stark lines on ashes
When I had nothing to lose,
Thoughts on lips, shivers on hands frozen
To your wavering, silk-thin wings
As you flew me words unspoken.
You thought I was freeing
For you, a tick to pass the time, fire
Flickering out as soon as you blew
Out the sparkling light. But for me,
Standing unmoving, thawing heart a shade of wrong,
I could never quite stop seeing
The firelit need to belong-
Never touched you, your glowing eyes
A step away from the truth,
Oblivious as they whispered along
To the melody of another dance-
You made my love a burned-out song.
Sometimes, I pretend I’m cold inside. Sometimes, the people who burned me the most have made me shut down my emotions. Sometimes, I just can’t hold that in any more.

Just wanted to let you know, I’ve been listening to your covers on YouTube and they’re soooooo beautiful.
This is going to sound weird but this actually nearly brought me to tears because I’ve been feeling so insecure about my voice recently and just to hear that makes me so happy! XX
Aw! I was listening to it with my family and they all loved it. Your voice is AMAZING.
Sorry to just cut into your conversation here, but could you tell me the name or your YouTube channel? I would love to hear it. It’s ok if it’s personal, I just thought I would ask, I love listening to song covers.
I’m okay with that and I’m sure Elm is since it’s public on YouTube. However, I’d just check with her first….
Ok thank you 🙂
No worries. I’m sure you’ll be able to listen, it’s beautiful.
