In our minds we are not contained

We need our hearts just the same

For a heart without mind is pure strength and passion

But mind without heart is just hate and aggression

When you've been broken for so long you forget what it's like to be whole

  You forget what it's like to be in a room without wanting to weep to the floor

  You wonder what it's like to smile without pain instead of through it

Most of all you wish to know what it's like to look in the mirror and see yourself

To see yourself without the front we give and the walls we build

Because when you look in the mirror you see what others see

Not your true identity

Your heart is an ocean

You bring death and despair

But you have life thriving inside you

Your soul is a fire

Wrathful and destructive

But you can bring new life

Your heat provides warmth

But we must never forget you can burn

Your thoughts twist our perception

But they set us on course

When Left alone we long for you

But together we push you away

At our purest we cannot see you

But in our darkest hour your
presence is clear  

Your image is threatening

Yet we give into your care

We are nothing against you

And can be nothing without you
