For the Heart Catcher (2015)

39. Somewhere in my Heart

                 

Somewhere in my heart, it's always been you

Whichever road I take, it leads me back here

The journeys I've made all over the world

Hoping a solution might finally appear

I searched the mountains, in cold and damp caves

For something that might just help me forget

I searched the oceans all made of my tears

But I still haven't found anything yet

Over the hills in a place far away

And a city, in which pretentious puppets walked,

A countryside lane with nobody else

Even a magical land where animals talked

I trudged through each of them trying to find something

Or someone to replace the hole in my heart

It was completely fine and unbroken before

But then you decided to tear it apart

I walked home alone, exhausted and used

The remainders of my heart all broken and bruised

Standing outside in the cold pouring rain

Wishing it could wash away this torturous pain

But somewhere in my heart, it's there that I knew

That the only solution has always been you

The hole and emptiness will remain there until

You decide to come back, if you ever will

This was something that I wrote for a school poetry competition, but I didn't end up turning it in. The theme was 'journey' and I was seriously contemplating deleting this, but I reread it and decided I quite liked it.
