SEMBLANCE OF THE HEART (SEND ME AN ANGEL)

SEMBLANCE OF THE HEART (SEND ME AN ANGEL)

Alone am I in world of slow decay,

The cloak of night is descending upon this day,

So lonely that it’s all that I have got,

Mask it with a smile, love I have not,

Tonight I lie in bed alone,

Wondering if I forever will be on my own,

Allegations of a cold heart I am often perceived,

False are they for this façade doth deceive,

Within me is a heart that bleeds,

Ever so badly wanting love’s needs,

I merely ask of someone true,

To walk into my life and renew,

Myself and show me,

The wonders of love that be,

I scream, I plead, I beg, I simply ask,

That she will help me remove this mask,

So that this dying world might see,

Before the end of days, who is the real me,

Oh light with a sharpened edge shine through,

And give light to me so that I might find what’s true,

I do not want to live like this anymore,

Yet past loves have left me jaded behind this closed door,

And their pretenses have left me backwards and shy,

The callous of these emotions I cannot deny,

For there are moments I fall to the unsympathetic world,

But I know within me is a compassion ready to hurl,

Itself at the chaos amongst which we live,

God, I pray that tonight you send me an angel from above,

Who will remove this semblance of a hardened heart and allow me to love.
