A Graveyard That Is My Heart

Oh how they have torn me,

They have burned the bridges to my heart,

And yet I keep my head high,

Even if inside its my heart that dies,

They ask me to trust,

They ask me to open,

But how do I manage after the many times,

I have been broken,

Holding on to the fact that I must live,

There are to many that need me,

I cannot allow my pain to selfishly,

Take over me,

So this graveyard that is my heart,

Must rest,

And I will get up from the sodden ground,

I have been sitting in,

It's my time to straighten my shoulders,

And move on,

Maybe then my heart will rise,

From the graveyard,

And beat again
