~~~

Do you know how badly I want to look into your eyes and see my heart reflected there?
Days, weeks, months,
and now even years I've waited to heal
to be happy
to be free from the bleeding of a love that died.

For so long I have questioned this thing called love
this world we call home
this race we call our own.

Why can't I see when I look?
You want my heart surrendered,
Yet you hide the contents of yours behind chained doors
There are no windows.

You want me to be happy
yet you see my pain
as your silence leaves her wounds.

I want so badly to look into your eyes,
to see that when I wake up in the morning,
Them eyes will still be there,
reflecting my heart.

Walls Of Ice

yes it's true..that many on this world are wanderers... the walking wounded of the heart. The pain locked behind the ice like walls inside there eyes. The ones who choose to remain so... are the ones that I despise. For it's true as they say... to have loved and lost is far better...than to never love at all. But alone from without, the ice cannot be melted. What kind of person would live their life in such a cold and lonely place?
