Analysis of Soul Of The Heart
Scott Felgner 1979 (Ridgewood, New Jersey)
I’m tired, and I continue to need & desire
I see the struggle of my seed provider
Her shell is a ghost of her lost strength
Glimpses of what’s left I know will soon be taken
Damn the mind that gets lost in time
My heart flutters with illness in kind
Do you see the pain you cause?
The ashes will rise to claim the weakest dust
I am losing the battle of watching
Watching the physical last longer
Longer than the once strong mind
Do you see understand how we suffer?
