Heart Sunken

I'm changed
at least for the time being

My heart's changed

because it doesn't sings,
sings the ol' songs
old happy songs..

But alas,now things have changed
Now it knows about the ill things that it has done
Now it knows about the space it has built
Things have changed,
changed due to that space
and instead of songs,it has guilt
Surely the things have changed...

Maybe i could escape to some place
or maybe i could replace,
replace my heart full of guilt
to get back my old warm heart
as the night is beneath a comfortable quilt..

When in loneliness
there's this guilt
guilt which increases the depth of deepness
deepness of my heart,sunken heart
the heart which wants to depart
depart to a place
where things are still the same
where things haven't changed
where my heart is still unchanged...
