A Darkened Heart

"A Darkened Heart" By: Lilly Van Sickle
Pull me down and watch me plunder,
Because I was tamed by love and thunder.
Give me your wing to hide under,
Because I am sacred, and I am stubborn.
Grace is hiding in the cupboard,
And I am calling to you brother.
"Come and see what I've uncovered!"
Find me in the dark,
Aid me back, I’ll praise then depart.
Hide me with your dead!
I've a live heart, but dyeing flesh.
I used to behave, but that was in earlier days.
I used to betray this evil I’ll one-day escape.

See this child scream and shutter!
Tell me this world does not suffer!
It’s then we stare at one another,
Meanwhile hiding our guns and shovels.
Yes, I will die beneath theses covers,
While I try to call out to the others,
"Come and see what I've uncovered!"
Come see what I have let take place!
This heart is shrouding lust and shame!
Though, I’m not one to misbehave,
at least not in the light of day.
For years I let it weld these chains,
But now a darkened heart filters my veins
So, watch as I begin to fade
Don't run, but promise me & say
"I still love you all the same!"
Catch me in the dark!
Take me back, untill I fray with the stars.
Hide me with your dead!
I've a live heart, but dyeing flesh.
I used to behave, but that was in earlier days.
I used to betray this evil I’ll take to the grave.
