Sorry Heart

Through marble eyes, cold and grey, 

I see my kids at rest or play, 

And I feel you burn inside my chest, 

To try to make me feel and yet, 

There is no spark, no fire, no fuel, 

I just sit and watch like a stubborn mule. 

I see my wife, so sweet and kind, 

I sense her love behind worried eyes, 

I hear the fear in her tender tones, 

And I feel you ache beneath my bones, 

For all the love you have for her, 

Is locked behind this barrier. 

I know you have so much to give, 

I feel you bleed behind my ribs, 

So I'm sorry heart, for breaking you, 

I'm sorry that you're torn in two, 

My callous mind is cruel to me, 

But it's not your fault, you shouldn't be

The one who bears the pain of life, 

You have nothing but love for my kids and my wife. 

I hope that one day God fixes you, 

And gives you to someone who knows what to do, 

With a heart full of love and compassion and care, 

So you can give all you've got,

I just hope that I'm there.
