Heart

Heart

Simple gestures,

Loving words,

Kiss on the cheek,

Fingers laced,

Nothing's left but empty space,

What's wrong with me?
I ask myself

That I can't have.......

Guess there's nothing or me felt,

Silence in the air,

I feel it dampen my spirit,

Hole in my heart,

Bleeding soul,

Can't seem to get through,

Too many vaults with impossible codes,

Traps, snares, and mazes galore

I've been caught too many times before,

Not needed, never was,

Been bled out,

My soul is shredded,

My heart is missing,

But then,

If you open your hands,

You would see,

I gave it to you,

Freely.
