Heart of Hearts

A secret place
Locked deep within
Very few ever find it
Even if you look for it
Then one day it happens
Someone touches you
So profoundly, so deeply
And still you dont know
You feel the stirrings
The tugs on your heartstrings
And still dont realize
Just how much you care
And then something happens
And they are gone from you life
And then you see
You cant breathe
You cant focus
You cant stop crying
And everything you see
Or do or listen to
Reminds you of them
And the pain comes back
Fresh and new
And you try to let go
But your heart of hearts
Keeps them there
Shows you over and over
How much you care
And your heart feels broken
Ripped right out of your chest
You no longer feel whole
There is only a void
Only they can fill


The Pheonix

A fatal shot to the heart
and the pain exploded deep inside
it shattered the core
and energy flared out of the cracks
pure energy, never created or distroyed
it filled the hole in the heart
it spread out further
like a rough diamond being cut
to expose the fire inside
this fire was building
changing, altering the very essence
filling me with the clearest form of light
the kind that allows you to see
or to blind you with it's intensity
a transformation of unique proportions
never again to wonder about survival
I will always be reborn
I am a Phoenix!
