I thought I could find myself
if I quietly crept back towards her protected space,
but it has been padlocked and chained.
It hurts to know that I was never there when things got tough,
now she just lives silently inside of me,
too afraid to talk to me.
Two strangers sharing one soul,
sharing one story but fighting over one frozen heart.
I long for her to know my touch,
to show her what dreams should be,
but she believes dreams will never be real,
and now I am struggling so much
to keep this silent heartbeat
alive inside of me.
