I cannot
I just cannot
Close my heart
I cannot
I just cannot
Hide my heart
And I lay it bare
Again and again
I offer it
Again and again
For this heart
Pulsing in my chest
Throbbing in my body
Desires to love
With every beat
And as much as I cannot stop breathing
I cannot stop loving
For this heart
Connected to the heart of life
Can do no other
Than love
And if I were to hide this heart
If I were to make this heart small
If I were to make this heart tight
If I were to close this heart
I would close my self
To life
I would hide my soul
I would shut myself away
In the wasteland of the living dead
And wither to hollowness
So I will offer my heart
I will reveal my heart
I will love
Every moment
Every sacred moment
That I may.
