True, best laid plans shall go awry. Now, sadly, this I've found. Cheap lies that make the bold heart cry Make same hearts seek new ground. Exceptions, though, exist there do That challenge such a rule. Cheap metronome my chest holds to Is proof, the stubborn mule. The space between my ears cries stop! We shall not bear such weight. This ruined mass won't be your prop, We shan't stay in this state. To eyes it cries, affix elsewhere. Out of mind if out of sight. Then this reply: Yes, we do care, But can't see through this night. The fiend that feeds the warmth to all Has clouded all we know. Now we have ceased thanks to this gall. There's nothing left to show. Alas, it spirals yet more deep As systems halt and cease. This wretched force persists to seep, Its grip I can't release. My shell and all but blackened core Evade this awful dread. The visceral cries I hear no more As screams are all I'm fed. The limbs upon the trunk can't live Unless the ground is lush. For if the roots can no more give, The tree falls to the brush. This heart, my fallen sylvan soul Is now the fuel for others. Uncaring lives that dig the hole Now feed on fallen brothers. It's company that sadness seeks. This, others push away. Unknowingly, their apathy speaks. Exacerbate: decay. So though all but what I protect Still plead for refuge soon, Its hold upon me won't forget The love I still exhume. As time tries to inter this need That most seem wont to shun, I still embrace full life's first seed For that's how I begun. Forget me not, the love does cry. My heart replies, I shan't. Though all within plead still to fly, Dismiss this hurt, I can't. So long as though I have control, We shall still bear this hurt. For giving up on love so whole Would cause life to revert. So though the pain from her deceit Relents not, to this day, Forever hold her here complete, I shall, she's here to stay.

The Heart's Defiance
