Heart of Mine
If you could see into my heart,
My heart beats slowly
View the pain that surrounds it,
Suffocating
See the cracks on the surface
How well they are seen
Look a little deeper now you
See the breaks
Irreversible damage has been done
Now it's to late my heart has one less beat
Fate has been sealed, my heart is slowly dying
If you could see into my heart witness
Tears repressed, tears, mine don't exist
A story not shared, a story unread
Violence and abuse
Blood seeps out from
Unhealed wounds
Lacerated over and over again
If you could see into my heart
Watch as it withers and dies
Untouched, unloved, forgotten
Cast away, discarded
Battered, deep memories
Holds the pain unseen
To the naked eye
If you could see into my heart
I know longer have one
