The courageous heart,
Yet a heart of untruth.
I cannot trust you, Heart.
O Heart, you led me chasing.
Chasing the wrong way.
You misjudged.
You misguided.
Now I don’t know what to do.
O Heart, why do I believe you?
Why do I allow you to take me here?
I must be wary of you, Heart.
I must not answer your call.
Why do you set me to fail?
O Heart, you lift me on a high.
O Heart, you chop the legs beneath my being.
You are unworthy of my attention.
I must cage you.
I must wall you off.
O Heart, I’ll turn you to stone.
