"Dying Heart"
© 2002
by David McDougald
I could never express the feelings I had inside myself
The hurt and pain inside my heart seclusion in itself
Left without its love as food to die cold and all alone
No sun of warmth or light of day to brighten its lonely home
A dying heart without its love a rose without its red
Sun and rain after fact cannot bring back the dead
Emotions of the yearning heart are the first things to die
Once they’re dead the mind and soul could never ever survive
As your life it fades away and your body begins to crack
No material earthly possessions could ever bring you back
A dying heart without its love suicide comes to mind
With all the walls closing in no hope can I find
You can understand this now I looked within myself
As deep into my darkest room controlled by mental health
In somewhere that I’ve never been as lonely as that night
I found the strength way down in my depth it moved me to the light
A living heart without its love a living heart with pain
To live and suffer just enough but not to die in vain
