Finding My Heart

In the search of darkness,

Will I find you?

Inside the waters,

Of a temperate zone.

Will you be there?

Or will I remain alone?

In the maddening swamp of my soul,

Will you be there to help me regain control?

I feel you somewhere among,

Something in my bosom is missing upon.

I hear you beating in my mind.

As I know I couldn’t leave you behind.

Faster it beats,

As If I knew all along.

That you were in the darkness.

You were in the temperate waters.

When I was alone.

In the maddening bog.

And inside my breast.

I had felt you even when I deemed you as long gone.

But from the very start.

I knew it was you who had stolen my heart.
