Open Heart, Open Mind

She said there’s nothing worse than bearing an untold story inside of you 
So I finally open up
To you to say they broke my cup
When I offered them a glass
And I never thought to ask
The saints if it was safe
Now all I want is to escape
And death may be appealing
But I amn’t dealing
And don’t want a finite end
I would rather have a friend
And I found one in you
I think you may have found it in me too
As you look at me with those desperate eyes
And I let you catch my sighs
As they fall from my lips
In the middle of an eclipse
And there is nothing wrong with me
Except for the fact I’ve been set free
Of the chains no one can escape
Until they fall victim to the shape
Of water in the mirror
And I cannot hear her
Anymore
Because her closed door
Will never open to my pounds
And the sounds
She makes when she’s mad
Would make anyone feel bad
But I forgive her errant storm
For never being able to keep me warm
For it raged in her
And destroyed everything we ever were
Like shattered glass on the floor
But I took the pieces and made a mosaic to adore
Like a stained glass window in a chapel
Like a wild woman riding a capall
Through the woods or forest
Lord above, please keep me honest
In a world of lies
Where all the futile tries
Are brutalised
And the disguise
Is only just to say
That I chose to have it this way
