Heart In a Box

Can’t you hear the pounding the beating Trapped within this four sided structure Tears and screams are fleeing Awaiting a soldier to free this simple heart Caught inside a box no way out Hoof beats in the distance ending or start Awaiting a rescue to breakdown these walls And free my captured soul Please untie me sever these ropes here my calls Long awaited torture freedoms far away lord I don’t deserve this forsakeness Send Death if my love cannot cut my cord I pray I seek for eternities sake free me from this box My heart needs more than this four sided structure Swept away by the oceans” mist freed alas The cursed storm struck with the might Of twenty horses mounted by soldiers And swept my heart to sea within the night A peaceful calm a strangeness I felt overwhelmed Enraptured my whole and swallowed my soul Alas I was spent nothing broken free welcomed Floating in the vast blue ocean of water Timeless undone ethereal.
