Where runs a mystery,
My bleeding heart strays,
Trying to seek a cure
To put my mind at ease.
There in the shadows
Lies hidden in the dusk
All that I find precious,
Which others don’t understand.
All the most amazing jewels
Lie hidden for millions of years
In a dull facade of rock,
But within the heart
Of the hardened exterior,
There lies a secret
Of beauty remained untold.
Where withers a dying tree,
My hopeful heart nourishes,
Trying to bring back life
To make my mind turn.
There in the graveyard
Lies hidden all those lost,
Yet I find love,
Which others don’t understand.
All those departed from this place
Lie hidden within mourning hearts
In a masked blur of memories,
But within the heart
Of the dying body,
There lies a secret
Of beauty remained untold.
Where hides a lost one,
My sorrowful heart extends,
Trying to touch another
In a way deeper than truth.
There in the other
Lies hidden a glorious heart,
And a connection builds,
Which others don’t understand.
All those who are sad
Lie hidden in the careless world,
But within the heart
Of my very body,
There lies a secret
Of beauty remained untold…
Until now.
