Mended Heart

When quiet thoughts don't come out right

And egoism comes to light

Will I be accepted in the night

For a heavy sleep that mollifies?

When the shallow bruises all are soothed

Is there another world that I can choose?

One that doesn't think it rude

To hear silence the whole day through

Somewhere between right and wrong

Is the newfound home where love belongs

It hopes the wind is not too strong

So the wall of sticks protects its song

And here I stand with a mended heart

Believing it won't fall apart

My mind has found enough spare parts

To believe in a brand new start
