The Echoes of A Weary Heart

By Jordan Menezes

A timeless gaze sought out with pain 

My heart withers within my stain 

To know I feel no love for the world 

Is oddly strange and makes me relieved 

To know this world so fair and rough 

Will touch my heart enough 

For my heart burns for the world 

But my heart cannot burn along with it 

In my pity for this world 

I pray a pray that is burned 

I pray for not peace and love alone 

But for strong of hearts and humble 

As I say these words of pain 

Do not leave in such a useless gain 

Of riches and money galore 

The heart does not work on gold alone
