Black Hearts
I am walking this road alone
Eyes shut, too bright to look ahead
Every part of my body aches
No sign of ever finding home
I should never have asked for this burden
I’ll break my back
My home. My heart
So soon I’ll wade through all of this
I hope my lungs will taste the air
One day I’ll know the scent of home
Free from the heat and dusty streets
I should never have asked for this burden
I’ll break my back
My home. My heart
My home. Black hearts
