Deep Inside Her Heart

She walks on the streets with downcast eyes and sad countenance. People are busy, cold enough to stop and smile. Everybody is moving so fast, pushing, trying to get their way through. Somewhere in the depths of her being a struggle is raging,But they were just too busy to know what's going on,

Deep inside her heart.

She silently enters a hall, Her head bowed down out of shyness and uncertainty. But all they can see is her tight lips and serious eyes That they somehow perceive as a sign of cruelty and meanness. They clung to their distance and indifference Because they don't want to be her friend. But they just don't know all the anxieties that she feel,

Deep inside her heart.

She does her best to be friends with people, Trying so hard to open up to them. But all they thought was that she was too difficult to handle. They were afraid, intimidated to help and share her burdens. For they thought they were too weak to carry the yoke,

Deep inside her heart.

She enters her room in private and forgetting all inhibitions, She threw herself on the floor. Right there, crying and wailing, trying to shout it all out; They all refused to see her pain, her sufferings of rejection, Betrayal, insecurities and frustrations! They refused to see the things that have been consuming her,

Deep inside her heart!

From that time on, she made herself a vow Never again to be attached, Never again to reach out, Never again to trust! As her wounded heart got numb, As her broken soul collapsed And her shattered spirit concealed themselves in total apathy, She knows from within that she longs to love...

She longs to love and be loved... Deep inside her heart!
