Untamed heart

Unlike most I was created incomplete,

darkness in the place of my heart.

Never able to feel as my life became,

always in the way, always evil within.

My journey had taken me to hell,

no life worthy of calling life at all.

Trudging through grief my world had fallen,

mistaken for love my eyes were only blind.

Tears were not something I could show,

blood flowed down my face as the rain began.

I was nothing before but this hole left alone,

sorrowful image in the mirror crying black.

I had searched this world for the beauty,

yet in all that was in me was corrupted by pain.

Seeing only the shadows of what love might be,

my soul became weak as life moved around.

Alone in this night one’s touch reached inside,

making me find what I was always looking for.

With a twist of light permeated by regret,

her hands took ahold of who I was.

Completing in me the reason for life,

a love she’d given me even though I didn’t deserve it.

I see her face in the flowers all around me,

no painful moments except when we are apart.

Stars shine brightly my eyes giving way,

to fill me up inside with something I don’t understand.

She kisses me deeply her lips breaking life,

showing who I truly am in the mirror my heart.

Loveless soul broken without a need in the world,

now just her love, for this boy from that girl.
