Hardly Any Light Shines Through My Land

In the dark I stand
My heart in my hand
Light shining in from the window
Streaks in a row and I feel low
The light shows meaning since
The heart's dimmed presence
Hide's its inner reflection
Pretends inside isn't affection
The hands that hold it
Pretends there's no blackened pit
Doesn't know the darkness that is hide
The secret feelings that collide
And the shadow that's applied
The love that's been dried
In the dark I now stand
Hardly any light shines through my land
My heart's not open wide
Stitched shut with my chances to be a bride
While the wounds bleed out
And I want to shout
I want to let it out
As I bleed without
The one that cuts me
Stabs me so I'm too weak to try
To fight the arrows being thrown
And the knives I can't spot being flown
Nothing left but a mess
I bloody in shreds dress
I can't feel a rest
My heart is my crest
And no one can guess
All the stress that you feel less
Leave me in the cold
The heart I hold
For my heart to freeze
And lose the blanket of gold
That warmth you wouldn't be bold
Is my crest
Out of my chest
Kiss my heart with your lips
Hold gently with your finger tips
My heart is in the dark
Scars an irremovably mark
Not much light can save my heart
No one sees it being ripped apart
A hollow middle
Nothing but an unreachably saddle
