The Book of You

I see you, more than you understand Your heart, your soul, its like the perfect book Your heart it beats and yet you do not live Why do you resign yourself to such a fate, A fate, an attempt at life that is such a waste I know in your heart you wish things where different Wish the past had not happened, Wished that your heart did not ache so much This wish is futile, to wish your heart away is to hide Do not hide from what enriches your life You will forever remember this Learn from these pages in your book Yet that crippling pain is likely the purest emotion you have felt I am here staring into you, reading you I see your soul for what it is, It is struggling to restore your shattered heart Your greatest weakness is your fear You fear for what can be, for the next pain So many times you have been shattered Many times broken and defeated But you must learn to fight back Learning that pain is only the beginning is the only way Without this I doubt your heart or your soul will survive Survive the apocalypse of your life, fate has not ended it This is after all just the beginning of your future I beg you to continue your life, I yearn to read into your heart, mind and soul more Please forgive my selfishness but I need you to continue The waste of your heart is too much The waste of a soul like yours is a shame I will pass you the string for which to sew your heart I will pass you each piece, each shard of your soul Allow yourself time to heal, The process is only as slow as you make it Demand your heart to listen to your mind Falling back into the pit of despair is truly mad If you allow yourself to fall within its inky depths Then forever will its dark tentacles enwrap your heart You have felt the pain now, felt it keenly Do not fall into vengeance, it is seductive, it is sweet But it is a short reprieve from the darkness Take heart, the good die young is what we're told The better die last. The best live eternal in their love, for true love is eternal That love will forever last in another’s hear. Do not give in to pain, Do not give in to hate, Give in to your recovery.
