MY HEART:

I see my heart before me lying crumpled on the ground
And I look to see if there is any comfort to be found
But it seems that no-one notices that I am on my own
And no-one seems to care that I am scared and I'm alone

So I walk up to my heart, pick it up off the floor
And I try to put it back in its place as it was before
But it doesn't seem to fit, it's been disfigured from the pain
So I have to start reshaping and rebuilding once again

As I sit here in my bedroom, trying not to cry
I don't hear your footsteps as you're quietly walking by
But you stop and turn around and silently come in
And I don't hear you thinking that you've been where I've been

You can see what I'm thinking and you know that I have tried
You can see I'm feeling helpless and you know time's not on my side
So with compassion you walk to me and look me in the eye
But something there freezes the words you have inside

You have seen the look before you - in your very own eyes
When you felt all alone and no-one heard your heart's cries
All you wanted back then was for someone to be there
To hold you and to love you and to show you that they care

Instinct kicks in you realise words are not enough
Looking at your face I realise what I see is love
My heart is strangely tugged at but I don't know what to say
And I'm crying as you hold me and tell my it's okay

You and I both know the scars never totally heal
For the memories are there to remind us that it's real
But I cannot deny the change you've brought in me
I'm ready to become the best that I can be

Selflessly you cared for me and held me when I cried
And I cannot forget about you even if I tried
But being apart is causing my heart to tear in two
What can I say other than I really miss you

Once or twice you showed me a side I'd never seen
And I felt that I was treading where no-one had ever been
I want to show you that your fears are not your own
For I am here to share them and you are never alone

I don't know why this happened - it seems kind of strange
But I do know that I love you and that will never change
I feel like I'm dying - it's rough to be apart
But no matter where we are, you're always right here in my heart.
