where are you, sweet Heart?

where have you gone to hide?

have you disappeared into darkness

since the day you learned he lied?

you trusted, and were deceived,

and your loss of happiness grieved.

you learned that even a perfect night

isnt as harmless as you believed.  

you bury yourself in sorrow’s ground

where you will not utter a sound

for fear that he will hear you

and drag you back around.

how could you know a touch so soft

would tear you limb from limb?

that words that once had made you warm

would make you cower before him?

his power over you

has grown too much to bear.

now I see why you hide yourself;

maybe you should stay there.
