Heart in my Hand...
There are open wounds
that just won't heal
I pour salt onto the scars
And swig down the bitter sweet pain
with a shot of reality
There are words
that can never be unheard
I stab at them with a dull blade
And sing along in harmony
with soulful abandon
There are sights
that cannot be unseen
I wash the slate clean again
And set my sights
with pure intent
There are tastes
that won't ever leave my lips
I curse the heavens
And swallow them down
with a defiant grin
There are nights
that will never cease to end
I pull the shades on tomorrow
And snuff out each candle
with a cold heartless breath
Then there is you
that uncontrollable force
I hold my head high
And beg for mercy
with my heart in my hand.
