I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to say
To have your heart soften
To see my pain
To see my heart’s epic death
At the mountain of loneliness
Pattered at your silence
To my right an army of friends
To my left a battalion of lovers
And at the centre a hardened heart
And my eagle god flies above me
Untouched and forever intact
And yet …
A gentle look from your eyes
Disperse my armies and
Dismantle my defences
Disperse the mythical clouds of my existence
And leave me naked
And leave me at your mercy
But I couldn’t have imagined nor believed
How cruel you could be!
Still
Love never dies
For it is the essence
Of living.
I surrender my hardened heart
To your soft smile for
Love never dies
For it is the essence
Of living.
