Bridges of my Heart

My heart it tells me something
But wanders into night time
The skies are always falling
The horizon is always calling
People tell me stories
They promise to bring me flowers
Their roses never open
Celebrations are left stalling
 
The truth cannot be spoken
they just stand in token
not seeing that I’m broken
their wishes don’t hurt me
The futures hard to see
My vision it is failing
My direction it is ailing
But they cannot bury me.
 
Disguises are attempted
Into every situation
Ceremonies are forbidden
But they do not cancel me
Figures rise in marble
Are defaced by the artful
The police they do not bother
The truth they cannot see
 
My bridges are before me
The midnight moon it sparkles
Know one can hear confession
Of a man who has no heart
The embers are extinguished
The light of life is then diminished
All those who stand before me
Are listed on that broken chart.
