Ice Man – A Quadrille

Being closed off and aloof
it is impossible for anyone
to break through the deafening silence
Your cold, frigid heart
will likely never thaw
What will it take to reach you once more
Or will you forever be the ice man
Frozen in time

7. A perfect picture of the Ice Man for sure!!! It’s hard to survive in a relationship with this type of person isn’t it? Your first three lines say it all! Someone has to want to change and it seems that Ice Men are frozen to the way they want it. Bellissimo, Christine,Bellissimo!! Thanks for the seeds of inspiration!!!
