How...

Contributed by Davinah on Thursday, 13th October 2005 @ 03:13:42 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



How am I supposed to tell you…
When I am lost for words.
When I’ve never learnt how to express my feelings.
When I’ve never known a gentle touch.
When I’ve never wanted anyone to mark my soul
and carve their name into my heart…

When my heart has never been open,
but closed off from external threat,
and locked away deep in its dungeon,
safe from hurt and pain.
My heart,
ruled by the mind and protected
by my unwillingness to learn how to love…
Never ever, I swore, would my heart be moved…

For better or for worse.
Slowly but surely,
I built the wall that became my prison.
I seem cold and aloof to the outside world,
but deep down inside I am drowning
in the flood of confusion and doubt
of which I alone am its creator.
The puddle of dark emotions became bigger
as the years went by.
Now forming a stormy ocean, where the winds
they freely rage and howl…

The time has come
for me to release myself
from the strain that I’m under,
and free myself from these chains.
The time has come
to open up this rusted prison gate
and finally let you in…

You are where I begin
and love is where it should end
You should be the one by whom I will be saved…
You should be where my life will start,
You should be my graceful ending…

How, oh how am I supposed to tell you…
When I am drowning…
