DARK HEART
DARK HEART
S.JENSEN (C)2013
FOUND SO REWRITTEN (C) 2019
INTO THE TIMES OF
HISTORY WHERE
I LOVE THE
WRONG ONES
AND PAY THE PRICE
FOR IT
ALWAYS PAY THE PRICE
I WAS WALKING
THE OTHER DAY
AND FOUND A SILVER RING
OF FLOWERS
IT HAD BEEN CRUSHED
BY A CAR
ON THE ROAD
YET STILL GOOD
IT WAS A LUCKY FIND
SO I BENT IT BACK INTO
SHAPE
KINDA HOW I FEEL
AND PUT IT ON MY FINGER
THIS IS THE TOUCH
OF MY TYPE OF FATE
LOST IN MY FANTASIES
AND MY DREAMS
OF LONG AGO
YET STILL THE SAME
ROSE FLOWER
STILL AS LOST AS EVER
THE SIMPLE MEASURES
OF THIS POINT
THE ABILITY TO WRITE
AT THE DROP OF A HAT
YET NOTHING SOMETIMES
COMES TO MIND
AS THE SUN IS SHINING
AND THE ROSE
FEELS SO BROKEN
YET SO PEACEFULLY SET
TO STILL BE GOOD
JUST NEED
A LITTLE BENDING
BACK INTO PLACE
TO FIND A WAY
TO TURN THIS AROUND
I TRY HARD
NOT TO LET THE LOWS
TAKE OVER
OR THE ANGER STAY LONG
I WORK THROUGH IT
BETTER THAN
I USED TO
STILL ON THAT
EDGE BETWEEN SHADOWS
AND LIGHT
WHERE I FUEL FIRES
AND HAVE TO COOL THEM DOWN
OH MY MIND
CAN SO IN AN INSTANT
GO RIGHT BACK
YET I FIGHT IT HARD
CUS I AM STILL
SITTING HERE
ALONE
IN THE SHADOWS
TO THE MYSTERIES
OF WHAT I KNOW
AND WHAT I DON’T
I AM NOT PERFECT
NOR CLAIM TO BE
OH TO WHERE I CAN BE
AND WHERE I AM NOT
AND FACT
I AM HERE
THE MEMORIES
OF IT ALL
SEEM SO DISTANT NOW
AS I AM STILL
TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT THIS DARK HEART
DRIFTING IN AND OUT
OF THE MISSED
POSSIBILITIES
AND THE TRUTHS
AND NOT ABLE
TO DO MUCH ABOUT
ANY OF IT
THERE ARE NO
ANSWERS TO GIVE
BUT I WAIT
ITS ALL I CAN DO
IS WAIT
FOR SOMEONE
THAT WILL NEVER
COME
AND ITS ALWAYS
ON MY MIND
THE MOMENT
THAT DREAM
THE CAR
THE CRAVING
LONGING
THE MOMENT WHEN
LIFE CHANGED
WITH JUST A FEW WORDS
AND THE DANCE
AND THE LEAP
AND THE FACTS
WE ARE NEVER GONNA
BE
JUST DRIVES ME
UP THE WALL
AS YOU GO
THEN BACK AROUND
ALL I HAVE FOUGHT
STILL HAS PURPOSE
AS LONG
AS I CAN STILL
KNOW
I HAVENT BEEN
THE ONLY ONE
LEFT WANTING
LEFT CRAVING
LEFT OUT HERE
IN THIS DAMN OPEN
STATE OF BEING
WHAT WE DO
THAT WAS SO BAD
REALLY
TRULY
AND YET
OH SO DANGEROUS
TO FEEL
THE POINTS OF THE STAR
I WOULD
REACH FOR
THAT SPOT
AGAIN AND AGAIN
THE KNOWING OF IT
AND WHERE
IT LEAVES ME NOW
SITTING HERE
IN THE MIDST
OF MORE CHANGES
OH THIS DARK HEART
LEFT BEHIND
STILL WANTS
THE ONE
THAT WILL NEVER
COME.
