In the Heart Lies Desolation…
The girl, she was slowly dying inside,
The tears she shed, tried to hide,
God Bless Her Soul, For She Lied,
A bloody knife from hands were pried,
In her head, there was only one destination.
Her wide staring eyes became deranged and tormented
No one noticed, she turned rather demented
And her aura that used to glow, was dented
And for her unholy sins, she repented
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
Cry a river, a song of Emotion
For what is life without a commotion?
But for her, life passed in slow motion
Still she survived, and lived with devotion
Although unseen in her head, there was only one destination.
Nightmares streaming into reality
Life, although beautiful was loosing clarity
Oh, how she longed for a sense of familiarity
In this world devoid of sincerity
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
The memory replayed, again and again
Alone, defenceless she'd stood in the rain
Her mind muddled with confusion and pain
Immobilized by thoughts she now considered mundane
That day, she thought in her head, there was only one destination
She realised suddenly, a release was needed
Then painstakingly with her sanity she had pleaded
Humming happily, she knew she had succeeded
And with her trusty knife had her internal pain conceded
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
Love, she decided, was a game for fools
Men standing proud, presenting their tools
Keeping them happy by presenting jewels
But they leave when their woman discovers their rules
In her head, there was only one destination
Always dancing between conscious and aware
She lived in the past now, rational thought leaving her mind bare
She thought of how she used to care
With thoughts of how she should always share
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
Tormented with depression, though she was
She could see a different opinion filled with flaws
Chances ending and the opening of doors
She almost failed to notice the arm wrapped in gauze
In her head, there was only one destination.
The thing about God, is he truly there?
Standing proud while his minions stop and stare
Did he have time to see her saddened glare?
Or was there no precious time to spare?
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
And as she sat cold and broken
The man who left her had just awoken
His thoughts drifted to when they had last spoken
How he used to portray his love with a token
In his mind, there was not one single destination
He'd never get over her lips, sweet and soft
Her singing in the summer, helping clean out his loft
He thought of his stupidity and he scoffed
Where was that hopeful force once aloft?
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
He ran away, she thought drearily
And he had done so most voluntarily
Yet, her father still wanted her to sing merrily
How could she? She'd grumble primarily
In her dreams, there was only one destination
She wishes it to end
It's just all to difficult to comprehend
A letter, placed on her pillow that she had penned
Is the last thing she will leave to explain, to defend
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
When the boy reached the town,
He is startled to see them all so down
And when asking why, they just frown
He feels something like a misinformed clown
He finds there is but one destination
The place he goes to is bleak
And, in fear, he dares not speak
Out of his eyes, tears do leak
As her tombstone was not what he suspected to seek
In the Heart Lies Desolation
He does not know how to mourn
And He is left forlorn
Looking at the grave sees his heart stabbed by a thorn
And wonders why he was born
Now, his mind finally registers his destination
He chooses to be simple and quick
The clock is ominous, yelling a tock and a tick
The forest ground he lays on is wet and slick
But this is simply what he feels he must pick
In the Heart Lies Desolation
They found his body in the morning
Just after the sun was dawning
In the simple clothes he was adorning
But, for the male, no one was mourning
Both were together in their final destination
Some say, even years later, both their ghosts exist
Together, unaware, they both coexist
But more realistic people insist
Saying, what reason had they to persist?
In the Heart Lies Desolation.
