My Heart

My heart overtakes me
Sadness covers my eyes so I cannot see
My heart desires to be free

My heart overtakes me
Loneliness and I sit under the weeping willow tree
My heart has sorrows deeper than the sea

My heart over takes me
Brokenhearted load too heavy to carry
My heart suffocating this is scary

My heart over takes me
Sacrifice screams frantically
My heart, my heart let me be…
