What The Heart Can Endure

When there is no more for the Heart to Endure, the Brain will take over and make you crave More.

You’ll never know Love, if it’s ripped from your Glove. You will feel only what has been placed on the Stove.

When the recipe is followed and makes all things Fast, you will eat more than one, you will not see the Past.

More of the thing that caused this alone,

the very same thing that changed Heart to Stone.

Shimmering rocks that grow stronger with Light,

If I hadn’t been sure, there may still be some Fight.

For the Heart is a thing that must learn to Endure, not all things that shine can keep the heart Pure.

All I can say is I’ve done what I can,

It was only enough to become the wrong Man.

For those that I’ve put in a terrible place,

I will not be the one who can say they saved Face.

Those that have been where I stand here and now, Can grant you the knowledge of what means a Vow.

Now listen to those that have come here before, they will tell you the same, what the Heart Can Endure.
