What Do You Do?

What do you do
When you cant see through
The ice around your heart.
The frosted rim
The light so dim
That's keeping you apart.

Be careful now
For when you bow
The box will shatter free.
The pieces might
Just scratch and fight
And damage there maybe.

So please take care
And be aware
That days become the night.
The chosen one
When he does come
Will always be alight.

So hide away
Another day
But are you now alive?
Or take a chance
But in advance
Your heart may not survive.
