My Heart Of Stone

A stone sits where my heart should be
It weighs me down- I cannot flee
From the numbness, despite my plea
And God, I just wish to be free
Its jagged edges make me bleed
And numbs my soul in fits of greed
I know this isn’t what I need
But how do I make it accede?
I need to find a way inside
And reach a heart that’s been denied
For though the stone claims to provide
It’s nothing but a place to hide
It’s time to chisel it away
And save my heart from its decay
It will not happen in a day
But, with some help, I’ll find the way
