Meaning of Love

The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
 I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
 As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
 I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
 Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
 In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
 I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
 My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
 Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am father’s child,
 And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
 If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
 Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.
