Ink Upon The Heart

Like a silent kiss
I feel it slowly dying within
Every moment I miss
Of love patiently waiting deep in

Like flame in dark eyes
I am falling mesmerized
Like raindrops upon pale skin
Drawing with ink dear memory
I smile crying deep within
But still carrying that line about destiny

I lose my sanity
Breaking through the deep of my soul
But resting still
Beyond all the lost promises I loved so

Bruised hands, bleeding knees
But eyes are still full of hope
I’m not weeping, not begging please
But longing still for home

I write with dark ink upon the heart
Every single drop of untold dream
Every day of love, every tale behind the line
Voices in my head tell me every feel
I keep within and bear still above all the rhymes
