Chained

Everyone has a heart’
Though mine is red and yours is black.
You mask your heart
To make it like mine.
You’re screaming within.
I don’t know why.
You’re hurt and dying,
Bleeding inside.
There’s a smile on your face,
But no twinkle in your eye.
Your eyes are bare.
You think you have concealed your secrets,
But in one second you have revealed every one.
If I left, you would heal.
If I left, you would die.
I don’t know what to do.
I’m trapped in a hole,
Dying inside myself so that you may live.
I’ll take that chain from your heart
And put it on mine.
