Day 312 - Heartless

One day I met a heartless boy

As I was walking in the woods

I asked him what happened to joy?

He said it faded away on shoulds

What should have been but never was

When I asked him why he only answered, because

I offered to search for his heart with him

He shook his head and said thanks, but no

I told him finding it alone seemed grim

He shrugged his shoulders and said I know

But she who took it ran far away

And I am without it to this very day

Day 249 - Heartsick

To the bedridden heart I have little to say

But wrap deeper into your sheet's cocoon

Your bleeding emotions only endlessly lay

And this agony will end no time soon

Scar tissue can hide the oozing slits

Whilst within this cradle life sits

Not revealing the problem at the core

In your quiet falling and rising chest

It mentions what else may be in store

When your aching memories leave you no time to rest

Whoever used to share this quiet place

Has now left you without a trace

No arms to hold you safe and near

Only mocking decor of old

No one to call you his sweetest dear

The pillows have grown cold

In this empty bed your heartsickness will swell

Making every night lonelier, the night from hell

Day 109 - Heart of a Lion

Heart of a Lion

Echoed upon the walls in drawings

The final ballad the bard sings

Will tell the tale we long to discover

When men act kindly to one another

If you can find the lion in your heart

You shall be one set far apart

Day 54 - Unholy Hurt

Unholy Hurt

Barely holding on at all

Ready to take that plunging fall

Leaving me here all alone

This you cannot possibly atone

Of all the things to keep it away

In your faith I could pray

And yet against this gray sky

I see we never saw eye to eye

You say it is only winter now

That you will come away somehow

But now I have stopped believing

And I sit here wild and seething

You have broken my heart you see

The most tender and sweet part of me
