My Heart

You dug my heart out of the blackest grave,
and showed me what the light could heal,
Through each and every encounter, my heart to you, I gave.
Until the time finally came for the rest of it to steal,
My heart grew fond of you in your care,
And promised itself to you in devoted silence.
A peace was felt it desperately wanted to share,
It would fight for this and your heart, even braving tense violence.
But then something unexpected happened,
something that cant be halted,
A heart no longer shared these feelings,
With a heart that exalted the beauty of your own.
Now we stand with a taste of that healing light,
And crave the peace we felt,
All we know now is the fight,
And seek the land where we dwelt.
