I would that you could see my heart
and read the thoughts within
to understand just what it is
that I have locked therein

I would that you could see my heart
and oh what would you find
be it gold or stone or love
I am what lies behind

I would that you could see my heart
to know what I can't say
that secret I just need to share
but you'll find out someday

I would that you could see my heart
behind the image there
that is who I truly am
what keeps me from despair

I would that you could see my heart
and read the thoughts within
then I hope you'll understand
what I have locked therein

Every now and then there's something that you feel you need to tell, but that is the one thing that you find hardest to reveal.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
