The Heart Rendered Silent

The heart was rendered silent Buried and freshly cut By the nuance of the moment I was destroyed as the space closed shut The pain of disarray As my emotions I did disobey Buried in the silence of indifference to myself The pain, the pain of this mental closure Gates were closed as the “saviour of the world” I tried to shoulder Every ache and every need Of those that were dealt life’s misdeeds But where was I, where was I In this painful mess Here I am pained and bloodied by my own distress Silent closure equals physical pain As the body repels with disdain Release me or I will foreclose on you You have a choice to yourself You have a choice to be true Release your heart, release your pain Allow yourself to exist on this earthly plain Recognise yourself in this quagmire It is not necessary to doom yourself to the flames of the funeral fire Alive, alive, I am alive My voice shouts out to my own ears Who is this voice, who can it be I truly thought I had buried she She that resides within my heart All I had to do was open my inner eye and allow fear to depart….
