Heart of Stone
Today I found a heart of stone
Just lying on the ground
I picked it up to hear it beat
But it didn't make a sound
I wondered who had left it there
Some poor heartbroken soul?
A heart that's forgotten how to love
And turned as black as coal
Today I found a heart of stone
Just like the day before
I put it in my hiding place
And quickly shut the door
I wondered who had left it there
This heart so petrified
And how long did it suffer,
Before it finally died?
Today I found a heart of stone
A "You don't love me shrine"
It hurts too much to pick it up
This heart of stone is mine
