Blackened Heart

Night flies
Like a whispering wind
Toll bells ring for my blackened heart
Vibrating through my ears
I can hear
A voice resonating from the proverbial shore
And I long for more
 
Clocks tick incessantly
I wait for the perfect occasion
But nothing rings true
See what love has done to me and you
And what we’ve become
Entirely numb
 
Hopeful yet full of sorrow
No time left, no yesterday, no tomorrow
It might have been mere happenstance
Give me another chance
Extend your blackened heart
And I’ll extend mine
 
I hold it up for all the world to see
And wish that I could set it free
But my heart clings to the darkness
Like the solemn night
That causes fright in little ones
In fear of things that can’t be seen
Like my blackened heart
 
Hanging from the limb of your branches
My blackened heart
Is refused further advances
It beats to the sound of sorrow
I wish I could predict tomorrow
But I can’t so I wait
Hoping that it’s not too late
 
Black as coal
I look deep within my soul
To find nothing but dust
The memory of my dreaded past
Nothing can last forever
Except my blackened heart
