Heart in Requiem

Heart in Requiem

This is the song I sing when I fall apart
When something’s dragging down my heart
The silence screams, the walls cave in
I wear a smile stitched into my skin

There’s no reason to feel this way
I’m fine, but no, I’m not okay
Sometimes it hurts because it’s just me
In my own constructed misery

Still I write in shadow’s light
For every tear, a spark ignites

And there are a million songs I wrote for you
In my heart every time I thought of you
This is more than a phase or trend
This is love that may never end
We are more than best friends
We love, we love
And I will always know it’s true

I hear your voice in the quiet night
A ghost of hope, a burning light
Though I am shattered, though I ache
Your memory is what I remake

When something’s dragging down my heart
I bleed ink on a broken chart
The melody becomes my prayer
And you are always, always there

Still I write in shadow’s light
With every wound, I still fight

And there are a million songs I wrote for you
In my heart every time I thought of you
This is more than a phase or trend
This is love that may never end
We are more than best friends
We love, we love
And I will always know it’s true

This is the song I sing when I fall apart
The hymn that mends my broken heart
A requiem, a warcry, a vow
I will find my voice somehow

Even in the dark, I will find you
Even when I break, I’ll sing this through

And there are a million songs I wrote for you
In my soul every time I bled for you
This is more than a trend
This is love that will never end
We are more than best friends
We love, we love
And I will always know it’s true

This is the song I sing when I fall apart
But with your name, I restart
