"A Heart's Hymn"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
here i am again without you
the silence is enough, now add darkness
but even in the dark you see through
me and all my shallowness..
this is a prayer
this is a plea
im still standing
but on broken knees
im barely flying
but on broken wings
the distance is overbearing
youre not silent, im just not listening
im deaf to hear
i scream but get nothing back but the shear
sound of an echo
a lone single echo
that comes back to hit me
as i slide down to my knees
that have already been broken
as i try to stand
theyre weak like their owner
thinking im ok as a loner
but no one is a loner
the vacant room is full
a small light trying to push past black
pushing through, but the dark is evil
the dark has a face
the dark is me
my ownself wont allow help in this place
this room so empty
like my heart
so black
like my heart
so stubborn
like my heart
so wanting
like my heart
my heart finally bursts
spontaneous combustion occurs
the darkness has faded
a heart is screaming
with lungs i didnt know i had
the heart is bleeding
but with red not black
this heart has found the light
or the light has found me
either way i'm never going back
wishing memories could fade
i'd erase December's 13th night
but its a night that will stay
if the past puts us where we are now
then this shouldnt be a reluctant admittance
but its a past that seems hollow
and a night that should've met oblivion
a night that should be hidden
as the heart continues to bleed...
