Soul Whispers

Is it my heart that sings when darkness settles,
Or my mind's eye with it's history book,
Reminding me of those endless hurts.

I cannot trust my foolish heart.
Nor accept the words of internal books.
Only the soul can speak the truth.

But the soul whispers beneath the singing,
And is crushed under the weight of the books.
