Arrow To The Heart

Once informed by wisdom

That what I was doing was wrong 

That he may be a genius

But he is also strong

That his faith runs deep within his soul

That even, I can't break those chains

Warm-blooded he was born

But cold as steel he became

Wisdom spoke to warn me

That he was not the one

But I implored and impored

Proving that kindness is hidden beneath scars

So as wisdom usually does,

It walked straight out the door

It's never came back,

Since still I implored

That even though his mighty arrow

Cold, sharp, and swift

Has pierced my fragile heart

Hoping there is still honesty in this man's words

That the wisdom was false

That he is true

I find myself denying

Denying the pain I feel with every step

That I can't even feel this poisoned arrow within my veins

I provide proof that I am fine

I smile every time!

Even my heart is slowly healing

But love is healing in all the wrong ways

The veins wrap around the arrow

Like vines locked onto thin fabric
My heart, grasping the arrow

Refusing to let go

If I were to take the arrow away

Nothing would be left but a shell

Just a body without its heart and soul

So I've become one with the agonies that wisdom brings
