Winter in my heart

It's winter in my heart today
and I need someone
to  chip the  ice away.
The cold has  impaired its beat
and left it helpless
I need love's heat
to come and melt the snow
that's drifting in
as the blizzards blow.
The blood moves only slowly through
all my veins and arteries
and slowly, slowly,
they start to freeze.
Must you wait until I turn blue
and my heart is frozen through and through
before you come  to  chip the ice away
from the winter in my heart today?
