Here is something for the one I owe everything to
apart from God,
her who taught me and showed me
the purest of all love that surpasses the universe in its purest and holy form,
to my Mum I say,
Your Heart
I carry your heart
I carry it within me
I am never without it
Anywhere I go, you go with me my darling
Here is the deepest secret, is the one no one knows
Here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky, of the tree called life
Which grows higher than the soul can hope
And mine can hide
That’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it

I'm so tired of being here
When all the people I love are falling
Like rain drops from the sky
Their presence still lingers here.
These wounds won’t seem to heal,
This pain is just too real
There is just so much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I still held your hand through all these years,
You still held on to me
You used to captivate me with your resonating light
Now am bound by the life you left behind,
Your face, it haunts my once pleasant dreams,
The sanity in my life has gone with you
the day you left because
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real
There is just so much that time cannnot erase,
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears,
When you’d scream, I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me
I tried to tell myself you are gone,
but though you are still with me
here in my soul
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me,
me,
me...
