Nature Of Your Heart Poem by Jennifer Batch

Such a familiar face I see before me
Though I do not recognize your heart
How can I not know the one who's touch is so familiar?
Deep within you've kept your true self hidden tightly under guard
Have I ever known the truth of who you are?
I long for understanding, for confusion to subside
I cannot go on living whilst you scheme to keep me bound
I cannot go on living whilst you feast upon my pain
All the while I've been sharing what is in my heart
You've been playing at a game of hide and seek
Keeping what is in your heart hidden in the dark
Although I seek, I've never found the true nature of your heart
