When Troubled Hearts Meet to Talk
How could I look you in the eye?
How could I whisper all is fine?
How could I smile a big curved line?
-and mean it all from the inside
You see me now on the outside
And make yourself a nest to bide
That builds up all around me still
The one I look to and confide
There I am, strong with will
I am invincible and so still
I am sensible and yet I'm free
I am everything they may not be
Outside us the world is grey
Colorless like the air we breathe
The one that keeps us day by day,
Of which we lost to keep sanity
Inside, my fragile world is formed
A sanctuary within the storm
With wings woven so bright and tight
But never ever can take flight
Inside, time ticks and slower still
When seeing you, I know I feel
When seeing you, I know I can't
Defeat the strongest man that stands
That man, my chosen enemy,
A name I picked up to hide 'me':
The me that cannot stand just yet
The me that cannot find good sense
Within the mask, within the veil
Beyond the pictures and the tales
Go past beyond the naked heart
That unfolded quickly in the dark
So how could I look you in the eye
And tell you everything is fine
And smile and laugh like I always do
And mean it right and mean it true
When I can't read what's in your mind
When I can't seem to draw the line
When all I want, it can't be bought
When troubled hearts meet to talk
Yours Truly.
