Where is your heart?


Where is your heart? When my dreams have been broken Where is your heart? When I fill a sorrowful river for you Where is your heart? When my best friend feels miles away The smile painted on my face Mirrors your grin perfectly However only one is there honestly The face I know so well Stares back at me Painfully so indifferently Without even a hint Of any special feeling Resonating from his body I dream of the passion I once felt And for him it drove me crazy Throwing me into a daze I miss the feeling Of shivers running up my body Like a shock of electricity Shot from the tip of a finger Causing my pulse to accelerate And any stray thoughts to dissipate Nevermore Said the Raven Nevermore Said the true smile Nevermore Cried my tears Now that love is gone The friends are missing And I’m silently distressing What once was my best friend Can hardly even be noted That we are acquaitances I miss the friend I once had I wish for what I once possessed A friendship that was one of the best Distance of miles and miles Has seeped into the inconspicuous rift That had once been a gift A moment of silence Morphed into years Of exile and unnerving fears Now in my losing battle I’m the last one standing And to the end I’ll keep fighting For my one love That will never fade That has always stayed I long for my promised embrace But I know my hopes are pointless A thought I do not want to confess He’s too afraid of what could be He’s too blind to see That we were really meant to be
