fledgling artist

hi heart,

i promise to not look away from the fractures in your core
i meet you here

in the beginning i'll knock on your door every chance i get
you might get a little annoyed...

you see i have missed so many calls from you
that i have to annoy you, make you mad into start calling me again
but, this time when you call i'll be ready

if i am being honest, i am not doing this for you
you see, i see all these broken hearts around me
and you might say that i am someone who knows the screams of a broken heart

so, i just can't help myself pining to help those hearts
but, i can't do that without you...

so, i'll meet you daily
and i'll meet you in those very piercing fractures where i looked away from you.

i am older now, dare i say a little wiser
but, also more wounded, very easily scared

so, my promise to you is that despite the wars i have lost
i'll look at you with the feralness i once had...

i realize that this war that i am going to fight to win my heart back
is the war with the shadows of my past
and it's a war i'll probably lose it thousands of times
but, this is a war i'll keep fighting

because i want to help those broken hearts
and i'll need you my heart because i don't speak heart
