This Heart of Mine


It was me, my fault

To accept and later on take action

A type assault

To please my continued dissatisfaction

 

You had me at “beautiful”

And I stepped off the edge

My brain frozen and my heart delusional

No time to allege

 

Miles and oceans far apart

Still, deep inside my heart

Our love only a work of art

Only us at the start

 

Caught in a cloud

Too high above the ground

All the promises we vowed

Buried in a glorious grave mound

 

Every silent heartbeat

Simply a reminder of you

Stuck on repeat

Please help me carry through

 

Still with you

I stand alone

My heart you threw

On a stepping stone

 

Love me when you can

Only three words to say

And so our journey began

Of our love fading away

 

Hanging on a branch so weak

Uncertain what the future holds

Not able to see the mountain peak

Let us see what fate unfolds

 

Too many differences

Only the similarity of love

But with no preferences

To hear the mourning dove

 

Looking out to the horizon on the sea

Reaching out to the moon and starts at night

Can you feel our souls set free?

At the end of the tunnel, in light?
