The Dying Heart

I look upon you and my heart still beats,
although it's slowing down even though it's still inside you.
It still gives out all it's love to all those who seek it
but something is causing it's slow departure.

The darkness that has riddled my mind,
has never been able to destroy my heart.
Even if I now give it to you I believe I understand
the reason why my heart is slowly dying away.

It all seems to make sense to me now
why all this seems to be happening
why it's all starting to fall apart
the answer is simple you'll see.

There was a birth of a child nearly two decades ago,
who was born to small and had a troubled heart,
after long months and perhaps years they tell me
I was able to grow and be normal.

I think time's now caught up to me
my heart has been stolen by the most beautiful angel,
yet she's so high above my presence goes unnoticed
as my heart, my greatest strength beats inside of her.

I realize now why it is slowly dying
it's because I linger here
as I slowly drag all those I love down
my heart slowly dies away.
