Barely Alive

I gave my heart freely
An act only done once before
And now I see it laid before me
Ripped from my chest, placed on the floor

How could you have been so fooled?
How could you have been so mislead?
Didn't you see the clues?
Didn't you know what was ahead?

I can hear all the questions
Coming from those I know and love
Everyone pointing fingers
At the signs I should have seen

Yet love has a funny way
Of making you blind to things
Actions which may be out in the open
But your heart won't see a thing

Now as I lay clutching
My chest as I writhe in pain
What once knew love is now dead
Will it ever beat with life again?

I look toward the heavens
And gaze into God's creation
Surely he must have a plan
For I know the evil one won't triumph.

So I place my gaze on God
It's all I have left to do
My heart must re-awaken
Or I know that I am through...
