Close to the Heart

Folder: 
Fighting Parents

Inside a store

Flashbacks of home pierce the heart

Burnt right in the back of your mind

Memories so close to the heart

(Screaming) So close to the heart



Tonight just like every other night

Tonight just like every other fight

No true love do they seem to express

Just fake faces, fake acting to only cover the mess

Can't seem to heal

Never does it change

Every few months

The same old fight starts again



A permanent photo album

of everything that's happened in your time

How can I escape this?

When this hate is embedded in your mind?

Nothing seems to stop this

And it starts all over again

Nothing seems to stop this

(Screaming) Screaming for a change



Tonight just like every other night

Tonight just like every other fight

No true love do they seem to express

Just fake faces, fake acting to only cover the mess

Can't seem to heal

Never does it change

Every few months

The same old fight starts again




Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is just something I believe is close to everyone's heart, whether they are trying to block it  out and just ignore it or actually dealing with it. If it didn't affect your heart in any way then really you wouldn't be hurting or trying to find someway to deal with it right? Well it's something I've gone through and whether it hardens your heart or not, it still does affect you in some way.

I've been there where you were/are. I know all about the every few months scene. Thank God, he heals all hurts we bring to him, and he even removes the pain of the memory.

You have been blessed with the ability to vent your inner turmoil through the gift of writing. Not everyone can do that. They hold it inside, and others wonder why they are sooo angry. Your words can help to open them up, and if they choose, they can begin to heal.

You have a ministry to the confused and wounded souls who are still trying to run from the memories of life at home.
