seeking
perhaps if you would search again
you would find your inner peace
that could set your heart to rest.
it beats fiercely, pulsing with blood not your own
and you know it.
because i see you flinch at yourself, sometimes
as if trying to hide away; seal away
the darker side of your soul.
because i see you glance at fingers,
deep in thought. and i know you are sad
and disgusted.
and the luster is gone from your eyes.
they used to burn with inner fire. but now
they are lost. and you are trapped within yourself
ties that chain you down.
if only i could free you. because i know
you long for your soul to escape from its
prison of regrets -
will you not seek for the inner peace
you so desire? i see your heart sickened
with guilt, and it seems i can hear you cry
out for rest. your voice is tearing, tearing
as if you are caught in some nightmare.
each time, my heart bleeds for you.
will you not search? i hurt for you; it
pains me to stare into your empty green eyes,
hurts me to hear your voice, hollow and
devoid of life. it hurts me to see you move on
this way, living in a tainted world, locked
within yourself.
seek your peace, my beloved -
and i will help you search.
