The beating of my broken heart now chained and locked away.
I hear much louder, through the night than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned silence. Stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, take me home where I am mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry me home, carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.
