Reaching deep within herself

She ripped out her own heart

For if she had no heart

How could she be hurt

Reaching deep within

She found an untouched passion

But having never been touched in a way

To ignite the flames

She let it die away

What matter she had no heart anyway

Reaching deep within herself

She nearly drowned in waves of tears

But a wall she expertly built

And a smile placed as a protection spell

What better to protect

The empty cavern within?

Everyday she painted fake happiness on her face

Laughed and sung to a charade

Yet even with no heart to hurt

Loneliness begun to smirk

As he thrust his knife deep within

The hollow space where her heart should have been

And though she shouldn’t have felt a thing

Her protection walls suddenly caved in

And the outpour of grief and pain

Was almost more than her heart could take

For although locked away where she thought it safe

Her heart still absorbed all her pain

Still she fought with all she had

To stave away the misery

Slowly she rebuilt the wall

But this time not nearly as strong

And hope saw through her thin disguise

But she turned away from so small a light

Even as her tears were harder to hide

As once again loneliness forced his way inside

And from deep within echos of her heart rang out

“Put me back, for you are in too much pain without”

She once again rebuilt her wall

To try and protect her fragile treasure

But gently love knocked it down

While more of hopes light was to be found

Less and less she painted a smile

Reaching deep within

She found a happiness in her heart

And though she still felt the immeasurable weight of pain

Her smiles were no longer always paint

Reaching even further inside

She found the flames

To ignite the passion long ignored

Her heart returned to it’s rightful place

She no longer fought

With echos of a missing heart
