The Fallen Warrior
Oh heart, why are you so afraid
Timid and forlorn?
Speak out now for you are not
And never were alone…
There were rumors of your misconduct
You were punished and then defamed
But never should I have shackled a heart
That was never meant to be tamed…
What has become of you I do not know
But know I that I was wrong
To tie you up in chains so tight
And keep you trapped for so long…
You were so content back then
With no room for grief or doubt
I held you back, listened to my head,
Ignored your screams and shouts
But in the process I have changed
People ask me if I’m alright
All I want to say out loud is that
My heart gave up the fight.
Now, it doesn’t speak to me
Just thuds and thuds all day
I have started thinking logically
But am I going the right way?
So I tell my heart to go on,
“You are free to wander around…
To feel the joys you had felt before
You are now no longer bound!”
Is it too late to shake it up
And bring me back to life?
Without ones heart and its advice
Can one truly be alive?
