Tattered Heart

For I fear what you might hear upon my trembling lips. I say no more, my heart is sore, they'll be no sinking ships. Your eyes I see, they call to me, and reach my very soul. But I retreat, I won't repeat, the life and love you stole. You pull me near, ignore my fear, and plead with out a word. My eyes cast down, my face a frown, I curse my tears absurd. You lift my chin, you always win, and give a gentle kiss. I hesitate, you're just too late, I can't give in to this. You say to me, that you can see, that I still want you near. But I must fight. Though I know you're right, it's more than I can bear. I feel the ache of my heart break as I turn away from you. I breathe in deep, hold in my weep, and bid my love adieu.
