Words From The Heart

I look into my heart
And hear a quiet plea
Strange words so garbled
Coming back at me

I try to make them out
But I can't seem to hear
Gets so frustrating
Even though we're near

Peering much deeper
I see intricate lines
Somehow I know
I'm not really fine

This game just keeps me guessing
Yet try as I might
To the point of breakdown
I'm losing this fight

Closing my eyes I pray
The words I barely hear
Sighing out I fret
The words I long to hear

With my mind so senseless
I'm filled with hate
I feel the words drown deeper
They slowly asphyxiate

Soon I'm hanging
On a piece of thread
I cuss and swear and cry
I guess I'm going mad

It's not long before
I hear that plea again
Words barely audible
A whisper in the rain

And then a moment of silence
Salvation upon violence
It all comes out so clear
Spoken right into my ear

"Let me love again
To quench the burning pain
You know your desire
So let love fuel the fire"

I close my heart
You're not mine
With ears I shut
I'm just fine
