Unless My Heart Is Happy
Because I needed to find out
~ not just feel it.
So I took a dive into the depth of my being,
there I found her ~ my soul.
Alone, floating in a dim bottomless space
with her head bends down low,
but upon sensing my approach,
she lifted her head to face me.
The instant our eyes met
my heart stopped... frozen in space.
Tears oozing down hastily.
She's alone, cold and sadness was masking
her frail face.
Visible streaks of tears gleam.
What have I done to her ~ my soul?
This profound moment has my heart weeping silently
At a lost of words, soundless scream echoing in my head.
My heart slowly melting into a pot of pain
I wanted to reach for her and hug her
to my heart forever.
Her ~ my vulnerable soul
Oh, but baby this is utterly heart shattering,
because I can't!
I can't help her ~ my soul,
unless my heart is happy...
Smile
