Heart-Shaped Locks

Free me from the chains that bind

The heart-shaped locks rusted with time

 

Still pulsing faintly to a long-dead beat

Crying out words yet incomplete

 

Older than the destructive time of man

Screaming to the heavens above the land

 

Laughing like a madman mindlessly

Invisibly sobbing; "Why don't they see?"

 

Quieter than those who are six feet under

Louder than a storm embracing thunder

 

Love crumbles and cracks the walls of the soul

The heart-shaped locks chaining me in their hold
