Part Two: Hope's Triumph

Here is the second half to my previous post.  As tempting as it is, the human heart was never meant to close when hurt, only to open wider and seek out a healer.

I opened my heart
and it broke apart,
so the doors of my soul
quick covered the hole.

Better to seal in, it seemed,
my pain with all I dreamed.
Better to be full numb
than have love-pain to come.

Pain cried "keep out"
with agonizing shout.
Pierced to the very core,
I wanted love - no more!

But spring follows cold,
and faced by love so bold,
as day chases night
there came to me a light.

My bitterness slowly ebbs
as you pierce the webs
and dust that fills my tomb;
you shine through the gloom.

A crack fills the air!
My heart's covering doth tear.
I step out of self-made crypt,
and my chains off do rip.

You've opened my soul,
uncovered and healed the hole.
My heartbeat doth begin
and I start to love - again.
