Raven Tones Poet I do not know?

Heartfilled Devotion

You were born with a hole through your heart

Somehow you managed to live this long

Has it had time to grow back yet

You were born with emotions 

Where have they all gone

Did you have your heart stolen

Or did you just leave it behind 

A hole in your heart, how do you breath

You showed me how to live alone

The universe was unprepared to give you a backbone

So you stole one to lean on, to create your own

You stole the hearts around you to learn how they work

Do you have one now, is it strong enough yet

Doesn't have to beat alone, let me in so I can give you mine

You're stuck in my head, and stuck in my heart

I have enough to lend you, so let me through

Let me through the barricade you use as a ribcage

I know your heart is big enough

I want to help it beat again

Let me see you smile sincerely 

No more pretending that nobody hears it

Because I hear it, your heart is beating 

Your tear ducts are bleeding

And I can see your backbone is strong enough

Strong enough to keep you alive
