The stranger within

Heart: How could you do this to me? Mind: I'm not responsible for your actions Heart: Why did you let this happen to me? Mind: I was not involved in your decisions Heart: I'm breaking and you don't even realize..(sigh) Mind: You're not breaking. I won't let you! Heart: Now you care? Now you say I won't break?! You couldn't think and stop all of this earlier? Mind: I wasn't thinking. I was listening to you. Heart: If you were listening, why did you not speak up for me when I started to beat slower? Why did you not protect me from it all? Mind: You're so strong, I never knew you needed my protection. I set you free to live to your content Heart: But I didn't. I could hear you think it too. But you never said anything. you just let me die small deaths every day. Mind: Not every day. You had some fun. I could feel you beating strongly. Heart: I was trying to get away from you. You let me make so many bad decisions and then you blame me later on. Mind

I sit quietly and observe the world around me I look at the movements and actions All I hear is white noise I listen to my heart no longer beating I see things in my dreams even though I'm no longer sleeping I calm to listen...white noise Where was the white noise when my heart shattered? Where was the white noise when my body raked with sobs? White noise....

I never knew what it felt like to hold hands Until you took my hand in your big one I never knew what it felt like to sleep in someones arms Until you wrapped me in your strong ones I never knew what it felt like to have your breathe taken away Until you carried me up the stairs and told me that you missed me I never knew what it felt like to fall in love Until those tender moments I spent with you
