put my heart forth
uncovered it from the depths
where it was hidden from sight

overcasts and cloudy skies
loomed ever near
the soul that is mine

wore this heart that beats
on a sleeve
like an open book to all eyes

it gave an attempt
didn't want to back down
memories from the past still haunting now

happiness, stress and all the rest
emotional tidal waves
crashed upon this single soul

it came, it went
heartbroken
life's a mess

can't help to cry
want to wipe away the tears

smiling on the outside
dying within these hidden walls
