Heart of Stone by ThePoetic1 Heart of Stone Do you consider darkness your friend? Do demons attack you in the blackness? As you lie in your bed and have evil –thoughts When you see the color red Do you smell the stench of blood? From your wounds and the battles you’ve –fought When you hold a knife in your hand Do you want to plunge it into my heart? Or are you a coward and would rather stab me in the – back When you are stricken with a terminal illness Can you feel your body slowly decaying? Do you feel like you’re being tortured and under – attack? When you drive your car in the dead of night Do you want to drive it into the river? Do you get the urge to ram it into a brick – wall Do you ever get the urge to climb? Do you ever dream of standing on top of a mountain? Or are you afraid that you will stumble and – fall When you love someone is the love you give for real Or is your love just a disguise for your unending hate Is it a mask that covers your seething – rage Do you yearn to be free like the mighty eagle? Do you wish to fly like the powerful falcon? Or are you trying to free yourself from your – cage Why are you running so fast? What are you running from? Are you running from the demons that haunt you? Are you fleeing from the enemy because you are under – attack Turn and face me and look into my eyes when you speak You refuse to look me in the eye when you confront me Is it because the color of your skin is white and my skin is - black When you are lying on the ground<b> bleeding </font></b>to death Don’t raise your hand and ask for my help I refuse to help you because you’re the one who left me - broken Believe me when I tell you I take no pleasure in your pain I can’t hear you and I don’t understand what you’re saying I heard you wanted to apologize but the words we never – spoken Please don’t call out my name and please don’t scream If you scream I won’t be able to hear you I am deaf due to the screams within my – soul Can’t you see that I am suffering just like you are? Can’t you see the blood that drips from my veins? We both have something in common because we are losing – control Go ahead and whip me I’m already tied to the pole Lash out and leave bloody gashes upon my back It matters not because all the love within me has - died You were never there when I called for you You never heard my cries of sorrow and pain You never held me in your arms when I trembled and – cried Burn my dead body and throw the ashes over the mountainside Let the wind carry my ashes far, far away Let the cool breeze carry the ashes towards the raging – sea Once I am dead and my ashes are scattered When they combine with the mighty waves of the blue water Then perhaps my pain will end and I will truly be – free Death is not an ending, death is just another door A door that each one of us must pass through one day But when you pass through that door you will be judged for your – sins Before we pass through the door of death We must fight the madness and pain of life They say that as soon as you are born the misery – begins When we are born people gather together and celebrate life But why do we celebrate a life that will consist of pain and grief Why do we celebrate a life that will be consumed in –sorrow As each day goes by we struggle to succeed We work hard to put food on the table for our We remain hopeful for a better future and – tomorrow Don’t smile at me because as soon as I turn around You will betray me and spread rumors about me You will tell deceitful stories of me and ugly – lies Then when I confront you and push you in a corner I will point my finger in your face and demand an explanation And all you will do is stand there and – deny Goodbye my old friend it seems our friendship is over Though we’ve shared many happy moments I no longer consider you an ally or a – friend Though we have loved one another Though I have held you in my arms when you cried It seems that all good things must come to an – end So spread your wings and fly far away I hope you find a land of beauty and tranquility Someplace where you can lay back and – rest But if you ever decide to return to my dwelling Don’t bother to fly back into my arms Because when you leave I will set fire to the – nest The smoke will fill the blue sky The black smoke will be seen for many miles As it fills the sky and consumes the cool – air When you return to see your home in ashes Do not look for my shoulder to cry upon For I will be gone because I no longer – care So, you think I am evil, you think I should burn? Believe me when I say I am not the one who is possessed There aren’t any demons that control my soul and - heart But my heart was once filled with love and desire My heart once flourished with laughter Until you came along and tore it - apart Now I must carry on as I bleed heavily from my chest Waiting for someone to pull out the dagger from my heart How long must I wait until someone removes the – blade? How long do I have to repent for my sins? How long do I have to wander the hot desert? Until I can finally rest under a cool – shade The cross I carry lies heavy upon my shoulders I continue to fall to the ground because of the weight But God never gives you a cross that you cannot – bear I must carry my heavy cross over the hill that lies ahead As the hot sun beats down on my body But I know I possess the will and the strength to make it - there Is there anyone out there who will forgive me? Is there anyone out there who will show me love? Does anyone have the capabilities to – forgive I don’t want to walk with a wounded heart I don’t want to carry on with a blackened soul I want to survive and I want to – live Though I’ve suffered many hardships and felt unending pain You won’t defeat me as long as my heart beats within my chest I take comfort in the knowledge that I am not – alone When I fall I will pick myself up and carry on I need to show the world what I am made of- And that I possess a mighty heart of – stone "In Every Soul a Poet Silently Lingers" - ThePoetic1 |
