My heart is somber,
I can't seem to cherish it,
My heart is somber,
I just don't understand it.

Laughter, giggles, happiness
Sound like nails on a board,
I try to turn yellow,
but blackness has its hold.

The root of my heart,
Its homeland,
Lost, drafted on a map.

I try to find it,
Heal it, feed it,
But it's unfound.

I place my hands on my heart,
Eager to hear a single beat,
But it's silent,
I hear nothing,
I feel nothing,
I've lost my way.

My heart is somber,
I can't cherish it,
My heart is somber,
I won't cherish it.
I don't understand it,
I won't  ever grasp it,
My heart is somber,

So I will ignore it.
