~I'd rather it were my Heart Ablaze~
Yesterday, just yesterday
My heart I could not find
Searching low and high, but where it lay
Would not come to cross my mind
I had misplaced my soul
My soul! The heart the door
Entrance to me denied, my goal
Emotions once felt, no more.
Purposely did I hide it,
Not wanting it to be found
The peach now just the pit
The beating once, no sound
Cold... unbearable cold
Not of the flesh, only skin deep
Oh the hearth I long once more to hold
But nothing to kindle, no place to keep
Finally found, frozen to the core
The lump that fell my gaze
A chill memory of the winter before
Yes, I'd rather it were my heart ablaze.
