Cold Cold Heart

From the mothers womb
She fell like a bomb
A child of love
Yet her mother would run

Alone in the world
No tit to suckle
No warmth to give her tears a hug
A babies sadness, death at birth

A world with no sound
A world with no taste
Is an infant’s world with no love
Abandoned to the fate of cold hearts

Growing, with no warmth of love
The mind grows strong
The heart longs for such strength
Lonely roads with sad endings

Her music is only of desires
Her desires are empty dreams
Her dreams bring tears
No solace to be found

She wanders to the lakes edge
Staring into her future
With such calmness
She walks, submerged in coldness

A cold cold heart
