The Black Stone

Oh, I know where your heart lies
down deep where no one can see
not even you,
(Perhaps your mother
has done this;
created you fearful of loving)

I know that your heart
bleeds, I hear it steadily gushing
while your eyes rest at night,
I lay next to you
my right ear near the heartbeat

I know you very capable of hurt
slow roll to your call,
mass questions in your wake
send you flying in rage
as if I've called you the devil
though, your expressions nearly resemble

I've known that this ambition drives you
this want to have more,
I understand that you need it
else your heart turn to ashes,
It's why I let you be

I also know that I've come very close
to holding your heart
as close as our organs have
in our moments of desire
but, I never reach far enough to grab

My heart always pulls me back.
