MOONLIGHT IS TRYING TO SURVIVE

PLEASURE OF THE HEART

The heart truly needs pleasure

but I never wanted any of this

all that ever came my way

was that huge cloud of gray

all those lies that brought on so much darkness

that seems to make me cry

most of the time,

while his words played upon my mind

day and night, leaving me in fright

while I was standing in the rain

letting out all this pain

I had to ask, why do I have to live like this?

when I only asked for the pleasure of the heart.
