Take My Heart by teechudleyy(f): 10:15am On Mar 02, 2016 |
EACH STANZA, A BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN A WOMAN WHO WILLS TO OVERCOME HER BROKEN HEART AND A MAN WHO LOVES HER SO. HER You carve your heart out Wear it on your sleeves And expose it to thieves With sinister thoughts and dubious deeds HIM You watch it wither Let them flay the edges In time your heart recovers Your will to protect come whatever HER E'en though its withered wrinkled and old This weak old heart pumps love so true and bold The one true treasure, loyal to the fold. The platform upon which trust bargained, betrayal sold The one true weakness wherein you find your strength, The one that suffers fears to stay at arms length HIM On finding lost truth and relieve Your heart remains forever hell bent. Tell me woman do you believe In such a reality heaven sent? HER There is a reminder singing As my heart thumps I am, I am, I am. Of this reality, this purity Wait for it, I can, I can, I can. HIM And I implore you to seek it You shall, you shall, you shall For woman of purpose, if I cannot push I am not the man I say I am HER So I stand in the rainstorms Scream for the worst to come I stand on parched lands And thrive in sinking sands. I'm not moving. Here I'll stand Until my own will find my hand. HIM You choose to stand against the illusion An inspiring choice and such resolute calm Take my hand and let us strike the land Water can flow and wet the parched sand Miracles can grow in the harshest of lands HER Miracles have grown in the harshest of lands I carved my heart out And wear it on your sleeves HIM I safeguard it in cloth In adoration and love Storm clouds hold discourse above I need one more heart to make believe One that came from you and needs a father to see 13 Likes 8 Shares |

Good Girl I was raised to keep quiet and let life pass me by. No one ever told me It was okay to fight. No one ever told me They had faith in me. I was raised to keep quiet and life has passed me by. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

SISTER BROTHER Hindsight's the sister of regret "What ifs" tease attempts to forget. Random objects mirror moments of reflection Dejection's the brother of rejection. 1 Like 1 Share |

He had tears in his shoes And hope in his eyes He was singing the blues When the sun was in the sky I wondered where he had been And what all he had seen 1 Like 2 Shares |

I met a raven dark as tar He was Perched by my window, a miserable lone star His eyes reflected my sorrow His darkness mirrored my gloom In him I found company A single misery in two bodies I met a raven I found a star A lousy blackbird no one wanted He was just crow But my lonely soul was comforted All of My thoughts he cooed All of My dreams he wooed I met a raven stoic and brave Who saw, who salved The darkness within He wouldn't let me cave He always said to me "all will be well, time will tell But From now until then Look out your window You will always find me" I met a raven with black plumage He gave me life with his croaking call I fed him carrion, we had a ball For once in my life I cracked a smile But soon his flock arrived He flapped his wings, he left Never once did he look back All I ever wanted, all I ever lost 2 Likes 3 Shares |
