"REFLECTIONS"
I go to rest and close my eyes...
but sadness looms, I can't disguise
the hurt, the pain ... that so deep inside me lies.
It feels like rain and storms
crashing deep within ...
Then I'm left to feel the pain; the anguish,
No soul with whom to share ...
How does my heart separate
hurt from hate, from pain and torment?
I need a new heart, is there one for rent?
I try to see the bright of day,
a rainbow quickly comes to view
maybe for a moment, this is a day anew?
Our life together is all but over
The love is gone, no longer there
How does one share, when gone is the pair
To pick up the pieces, to mend the tears,
left from years unstable?
Could take another lifetime,
I don't know if I am able.
One golden heart has gone to waste
But if it still beats should I try my best
to save the little parts, which are all that's left?
I cannot see beyond my tears,
My heart is troubled, filled with fears.
A heart once happy, filled with life
Is all but empty, filled with strife.
The thrill is gone, is it time to move on.
I've some fragments left, there still is hope
I hope enough to help me cope.
Should this life go on or should it end?
There's still so much ... Dear God, I need a friend.
