Take My Heart

You look at me with soft eyes
And ask me to make the choice
My heart lays before you, breaking
So hurt I’ve lost my voice
I love you to death, my love
But I do not know if you see
That each moment that passes
On my face is written agony.
My eyes are looking at you
Pleading for your love
But I don’t know if you see
You hold a broken heart in your hand.
‘Should we part ways’ you ask
And my tears begin to flow
You try to comfort me softly
But I can’t show you the pain, you’ll never know.
Take my heart my dearest
For it’s always belonged to you
And though you smile back at me
You don’t believe it’s true.
It has cracks upon it, you see
From all the wrongs that were done to me
From everyone I have ever loved
For whom all I cried and set them free.
In my heart of hearts
I have always loved you so
But words spoken today seemed
You wanted to let it all go.
Perhaps it’s always been my mistake
Or are we both to blame
I feel myself drowning
Wishing you would call my name.
Forgive me of my weaknesses
And accept my broken heart
For it has always been you I cherished
And I don’t want us to fall apart.
Take my heart for
It is you who holds it in your hands
For I will follow you into darkness
If that is what my love commands.
I’m so sorry…
