Unbeknownst
I feel my heart
Shattered beneath my skin
My arms aching, calling out for you...
Who..?
Here I lie, shattered
crying out for sweet release
Or sweet embrace...
A guide or a lover
whomever matches the pace...
Of the raging fire in my heart
That burns for no one
Yet burns just the same
Not caring to spare my soft soul from it's pain.
Soft like cotton...
Not strong enough to shield
Not strong enough to steel my mind,
pick up and grind...
Like tomorrow is all that matters
even when all my yesterdays have left me in tatters...
Moving through every today as a ghost
Unaware, unrecognizable, unbeknownst...
