Wake Up the Pitiful
i never knew something like you
could grow in a bitter heart
that the angry lost
would touch the fallen
that love could be found
in a dark corner
cracked my head
against your stubborn everything
shook me from
the passive circle
of self neglect and pity
shook me from myself
You Knew My Heart
child of a broken heart
you knew me at first touch
and love has grown between the lost
to turn into so much
faith was gone and fallen through
a credit to mistake
two hearts gone cold but for the pain
that constant reminding ache
acceptance still, in nature's curse
that pulses through dark eyes
and took in stride the horrors past
was there inside the cries
pretend that you ask for nothing
in the moments between here and there
when the truth is that love burned
because i listen and i care
