They Wanted You to Close Your Heart
That inner stillness
Keeps you alive
In dead silence
Keeping you sane
Through the mad
They wanted you to
Close your heart
In many ways
To stop caring
Put it all away
All the poems
In the world
Could not explain
The strength
It took when my
Loved one was killed
By a demon
Gone wild and mad
My heart broke in two
It bled with pain
Begging for it to stop
To feel nothing
Pitter
Patter
I heard
In the darkest nights
My heart kept beating
Living on
Beaten and bruised
It still survived
Although all life
Was stripped aside
And that gentle heart
Is still alive
Beating silently
On it thrives
