They’ve been there for years

  

“They’ve been there for years”

The keys on the keyboard,

They’ve been there for years.

Exactly like my hurt,

Exactly like my tears.

Tell a new story,

After all of the words have been said.

Much like an epitaph,

For someone long dead.

A heart can be forced,

Forced to pump blood and do it’s job.

But that machine that makes it happen,

Well that’s not God.

I’d like to say what’s right.

But it goes against what is true.

And my heart does beat,

I just wish I knew for who.
