And my eyes close for the injustice
Of knowing you without speaking my heart
For you are the goddess Venus
And I've never been close to being Mars
Even as my loyal heart makes war
Upon my faithless soul
The battle for control
Will determine
Who leaves the scars
If I open up my being
I might be redeemed
I might be blamed
If I remain closed
And never speak a word
I self inflict damage
And cause enormous pain
I live in silence
And remain alone
And revel in my absolute shame
For I allowed my hope
To die without a fight
To remain rooted upon the earth
When I have wings for flight
