Childish Heart

Childish Heart

Moribund Devotion I

I'm still stuck holding on to dreams of love, fostered by fantasies

Does that sort of thing no longer exist?

Would I be were missed for not wondering

And with childlike wonder and imagination

I still dream that the fantasy exists for me

Throughout my life I’ve remained stoic

Facing challenges and failures, without flinching 

All the while I’ve been protecting a childish heart 

Still in need of developing 

Please give my childish heart

A reason to mature 

And not grow sour

In jaded disdain 

With unadulterated love

Why is something so precious and absent in the world a weakness 

I try to hide it, but it must be known 

Even though you weaponize tenderness

I will treat it as my greatest strength that I have 

Despite the world trying to turn me against it

Do you know what it is like to cry

Because you are overwhelmed with a shameless love

That radiates from deep inside a childish heart

It’s torture yet it’s wonderful

Please give my childish heart

A reason to mature 

And not grow sour

In jaded disdain 

With unadulterated love

I just want to function

Instead of overloading

When I don’t know how to deal

With the desires…

… of a childish heart

Please give my childish heart

A reason to mature 

And not grow sour

In jaded disdain 

With unadulterated love
