My Heart and I
My future will not copy carbon cruel my past
No, nor trusting man with fallen promise patched
A wind exposed distorted tree
was all that was left before my feet
My heart and I have endured enough
We are tired my heart and I
It was not thus in that old time
such tenderness had no need to hide
Gone be the cowards whose love like famished leech
will suck the sweet and labored veins to bleed
Fool me once, then fooled me twice
'twas I the poor pathetic fool - deceived by count of thrice
We are all worn out my heart and I
Ah, but anger has kept me well
though be no hope in heavens sky
before the grave that bids farewell
Oh so tired my heart and I
too tired to long or wish to hide
'twas not the plan of his widowed bride
to waste the gift he set aside
In this abundant earth no doubt
Is little room for things worn out
and when that anger cease it's glare
of time past-tense will find me there
Displaced the faith of one so tired
in crushed and broken faith
My heart and I in cusp retired
for to fair the fight of the brave
Alone I lean upon your grave
to join my life that went away
Oh please I beg, bid me not to stay
for what soul I had has wasted away
Nothing will ever be what's right
the way it was meant to be
It was supposed to be "you and me
our babies, our FAMILY"
I knew I could not endure another failed attempt
to live the dreams that we had dreamt
We tried my heart and I
but now it's time to say goodbye
Our little men will be alright
life is cruel but they'll get by
Forgive me love, love of my life
We're oh so tired my heart and I
Eternally... and a kiss. Thy sweetest kiss, goodnight to what is not the living of life.
