A haven for my heart

The stone skips across the surface of the lake so lightly
One bounce, two bounce, three. And it sinks
Like my heart did so long ago
And it's at the bottom of the lake ever since

This has been my haven since then
A place of calm, for none to see
Something to the quench the fire of raging emotion
That was burning inside me

Propped up against the pillar I sit
Thinking of her until she's all that fills my mind
Of the circumstances that lead to our parting
And the deepest sorrow left behind

My footsteps echo as I walk down the hallway
A hollow defeated sound
I will remain here until the end of my days
'Til taken by death, my body is found
