A Heart in Disguise
I met a boy in the street one day;
a child without a name.
He never spoke a single word,
but somehow, we were one in the same.
He led me down a quiet road
with a teardrop in his eye.
I could sense the pain he held within,
but never answered, when I asked him... why?
Walking along, I began to notice
that his footsteps made no sound.
Then I realized this was because,
as he walked, his feet didn't touch the ground.
"Where are we going?" I wanted to ask
but this child had something to show.
I didn't disturb his thoughts in mind;
there was something ahead that I must know.
I couldn't help, but start to wonder
if he were my angel in disguise.
Before I could muster another thought
we came upon the most beautiful sunset skies.
At that moment my heartbeat stopped;
I remembered a woman I knew.
Could have been in another lifetime,
when all of my worries were few.
But the memories were vivid and so alive
of this woman who I had wanted to hold.
Where did she go, is she still out there?
She is somewhere in my heart, with the tears of gold.
Why couldn't I have her? What did I do?
The pains were merciless within my mind.
If only I had opened my heart, a little more,
to show her who I really am inside.
This made me think of the one who brought me.
"Why hadn't I known, who he was?
Why wouldn't he talk to me or show me his thoughts?
I might enjoy his company..." that's when I paused.
The little boy was no longer beside me.
I was alone, facing the sadness of my heart.
Now I can see why he had such tears...
this took my soul, and tore it apart.
Before I could die a thousand deaths
for the mistakes I had made in the past.
I jerked awake to find you beside me,
so happy my nightmare could never last.
But the boy in my dream without a name
and who's real self he could not expose.
Will never again find his way in my life,
but his lesson... I will forever know.
