Lost

I'm hopelessly lost in the Land of the Hearts
some are broken, shattered into a million different parts.
I walk past the ones that are hard as a rock
and the ones whose owners lost those who can start.

The skies are gray and a storm's moving in,
another heart will be lost in this land where no one wins.
Barren wastelands punctuated only by shards
of what was once hope, life's greatest sin.

There are no trees, no water, no grass,
only an undeniable absence of any way past.
I walk through this place, and I'm right at home
because my heart is racing way too fast.

Pretty blue eyes and a dazzling smile
make me have to sit down and my heart go wild.
But when those eyes are covered by will
and the smile is upside down...

I come upon a cliff, and I look down at some life....
but I'm way up here, because I thought love was nice
and it fooled me, and I skinned my barely healed knees.

Jumping is an option, though incredibly dumb
for what did God make us, if we can't see the sun?
I turn around and walk some more
if you need me I'll be here, with nothing from which to run...
