How do we reconcile
The tattered ledgers of the heart?
Love put in, love withdrawn,
With each of us taking our part.
Pain compounded,
Interest lost,
Passion wanes--
No love without cost.
Can balance be found
Between heartache and joy?
Put your heart in a safe
So it won't be destroyed?
Heart that has hardened
Deposits of tears
Crystalline organ--
Will it melt through the years?
Nothing is permanent
Nothing is fixed--
Both sorrow and happiness
Between and betwixt.
Let the day come
All are healed and matured,
To see, in new forms,
That love has endured.
How do we reconcile
The tattered ledgers of the heart?
Love put in, love withdrawn,
With each of us taking our part.
