Frayed Edges
Pain in heart
You turn away,
Yet I'm begged just to stay,
In your heart you must weep,
For the cuts are so deep,
You bleed on...
Believing in no cure,
When your heart is so pure,
But your mind has won,
Come what may,
And let go what will,
The truths you say,
Wait on your heart's sill
'Till you believe,
It won't be still,
I bleed on...
