Heart of Iron

(11/3/11) The sky was blackening on this autumn day The white clouds were moving quickly away The sun had ceased to shine And sounds of thunder was rolling by. I tried grabbing her as we ran across The white sands of the beach But she was too fast and out of my reach. Too many worries, too many fears Now it’s time to wipe away your tears You’ve been crying for too long With happiness is where you belong. Too many sad times that you’ve been through Now it’s time to play dirty too. I will teach you to have a heart of iron A soul of steel - no more aches and pains will you feel. So much pain that you had gone thru And on no one will you rely, for you Will be cold and dead inside. But by doing this I closed myself off to her And that she would never see, all the love That I have within me. My heart , my mind, my deep soul She will never be able to hold. Now I am going thru the pains Will I ever feel the same? Will she someday come to see That she is a big part of me. Will I have to close my heart As I did from the start? I have to have her next to me If only friends we be.
