If you knew my heart...

If you knew my heart
And the wonders it seeks answers for,
The tales it keeps
And the mysteries it can unveil,
The truths it conceals,
Your eyes would perceive me as an inquiry

If you knew my heart
With all the hopes it cradles,
The loves it hid away,
The emotions it locked in swiftly
And its longings that haven't been satisfied,
You would pay attention and sincerely listen

If you knew my heart
And the neediness within it,
Wrapped with all the attempts to speak out,
The chances it would wanna take
And its daily set of failures,
You would know, oh you would understand...

No more

Succumbing to thoughts of afar

Filling the heart with some hope to entitlement

To an object which once had a name

But now is a testimony of what's long gone

"I remember" is but a subtle attempt

To craft into the present what has been

Time has just perfected its turn

Giving what has been the label, Memory
