The Heart Of You

There is a darkness
A heaviness that is concealed
Inside these boundaries
Inside a plain of frozen fields
There are no weapons
No sharpened blows to be sustained
No, only malice
And the tapping of the rain
But there’s a dream I keep
In a world so dark and deep
The one true paradox
I’m terrified to meet
There’s a dream I keep
I go in when I sleep
There’s nothing they can do
No one will keep me from the heart of you
You are illicit
You are the shield against the fire
Of all that’s hollow
Of all the bodies on the pyre
