A gentle heart fiercely torn in two
The two sides as different as those of the moon
One radiating with positive light
From a separate fire hot source
The other cold, desolate and always hidden
Permanantly scarred by past painful events
That impact and leave holes like meteors
One half is full of hope and love
The only side seen and adored by everybody
A bit scarred but still shining bright
Hurt in the past but forever looking toward the future
A guiding light to many on their journey
To the depths of my peaceful soul
The dark side never flourishes from light
Only a calm solitude disturbed by angry crashes
Never having any hope of being revealed
For who wants to see the dark side of my past
That keeps me from opening my heart fully to anybody
When they can know less and see the side that shines bright
It makes my eyes and smile twinkle like stars in the night.
In my heart light and dark will always clash
And what side will win the feud is a mystery
The shame of my past of the hope of my future
This dilemma I face as a new man explores my heart
I wonder if he sees the dark will he stay by my side
Or will he run like the others to the safety of the light
Not caring to know the dark side of my heart.
