No matter what we go through in this life, our heart is right there, going through it, too. She takes it in, and she interprets the lessons and memories that ultimately leave you changed. It's a pure and sure and violent affair. You'll always heal though. You'll always heal.

An Affair

The wind doesn't go through me

It sweeps me,

picks me up and takes me

And knocks me down to break me

An affair

So pure and sure

So violent

Escaping through

The breadth and depth of

Memory

I fall in love with every pair of eyes

Such stories and reasons and seas

I question and probe,

My mouth a kaleidoscope

So come and collide

With me

I break apart in each pair of hands

As they mold and shape and release

I'm lying there trying

My windows are crying

But you put up your curtains,

Can't see me

I carry so much on my back and my pockets

I don't fall I don't quit, I don't spill

I'm struggling and climbing

At Sisyphus timing

Never finding the top of the hill

Oh, but for that split moment

I feel it's all worth it

For having a heart

Yes using my heart

Gives me the blessing

To feel

For I use my heart for what it was given

I feel so much in each every moment

And sure sometimes I can feel heavy And broken

But with the strength of my soul,

I'll always have

The power and blessing to heal
