~What a Heart Cant See~

Love no longer sees me, here where in I stand,
hearts that once felt promise, now feel chained by this gold band.
Eyes that fail to recognize ... the changes this hearts been thru ...
she's not the same scared woman, that he once knew.

Two hearts becoming lost in the distance ...
the space in between grows wide,
in time so much had faded away ... falling into this great divide.
How does this happen, is neglect the only one to blame,
this heart still remembers when they shared so much more than a name.

So many questions go unanswered ...
or maybe there's just nothing left to say,
when silence is the only one speaking, hearts can hear no reasons to stay.
When did his eyes lose their vision ... her reflection is no where to be found,
so her eyes then realize ..."the ties that bind"... now only tie her down.

At what cost, what price ... is contentment held,
do we have to dance with the devil--to have all our demons expelled.
When does following your heart, become an act of sin,
only a heart's conscience can know, the answers all lie with in.

Who knows this wisdom, who possesses the secrets untold,
is it fate or destiny that decides, which hearts will end with ...
"to have and to hold."
All this heart knows ... is love no longer sees me, here where in I stand...
and now I hear whispered promises calling out to me...
reaching for my hand.
