Torn is my beating heart
Tears like a paper
Tore apart
One side is light
Shining so bright
No darkness and no night
The other is empty
Feelings so heavy
The weight it carries is steady
One laughs through pain
Calls my name
Says I will never be the same
One sinks below
Moves too slow
Wrapped in sorrow-won’t leave me alone
There is war in my chest
It’s heavy and won’t rest
And I stand between
What is felt and what is seen
Split down the unseen seam
Torn is my beating heart
Still beating , still torn apart.
