Speak to me, Oh my soul
Before you my story of heartbreak unfolds
A never-ending tale of strife and deceit
A heart wrenching pain from a liar and a cheat
He stole my heart and bathed in my tears
He talked me down for so many years
He laid with me, by might and by force
I thought it was ok cause he loved me of course
The angry words, the heavy hand
My pleading for mercy sift through ears of sand
Deep in my soul silent tears I cried for us
Through the yelling and shouting and all the fuss
I kept the hope so very much alive
For peace and love I forever did strive
Till one day the only thought so clear to mind
Was enough was enough and I got off my behind
I packed my heart picked up my soul
Prepared to leave this house turned cold
I turned and wished the fear goodbye
I stood to look at all the years gone by
The love and the laughter, that turned to hate and tears
I wish so hard I could reclaim the wasted years
I want, I wish no more no less
That I could have love without all this stress
Without the fear, the lonely and the pain
Without the tears that fell heavy like rain
Speak to me Oh my soul
As this story of heartbreak so far unfolds
Has the pain made you stronger?
Has the tears washed away the anger?
Is your heartbroken remnants held safely within
Enclosed in your spirit still yet unbroken
Does your soul still cry in the still of the night?
Can you tell from here if your heart is all right?
Now at night when it’s dark and its cold
I stare into the face of my unshattered soul
And remember the days when I was whole and complete
And I know even now as my heart still beats
I am love
I can love
I am loved
By me
