My Heart Aches

My heart aches
my soul cries 
for a time
of clear innocence 
a time that time
has taken 
to the past 

No more to feel 
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs 

Sadness overwhelms 
hurt
seems to last 
til no more tears left 
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.

My Heart Aches

 

 

 

 

My heart aches 
my eyes cry 
my feet walk
a endless lie 

No saviour in sight 
no helping hand 
my remorse
is apparent 

I cannot stand 
on the precipice
of anger 
and
be in command   

No 

But yes 

Yes I can.

My Heart Aches

My heart aches 

Surrounded by people 
who think me stupid 

My heart aches 

For these people have judged
convicted me of dumb behaviour 

My heart aches  

At the moment I see no alternative 
it must be true 
I have no saving grace, no saviour 

My heart aches

My Heart Aches

My heart aches, my soul cries 
For the loves  
I’ve lost
And 
Live no more. 

The time came they must depart 
Leaving anguish
Loss 
In my broken heart. 

Someday I know I’ll see again 
Those I loved
I lost 
They’ll be with me forever
Forever once again.

My Heart Aches

My heart aches 
My soul longs 
for times of joy 
all long gone. 

No more to be 
no more to say 
loving words
I heard, heard
yesterday. 

Now has come 
a time of pain 
sorrow 
my heart aches 
my soul knows there’ll be
no tomorrow.

I Have Done What I Need To Do

I have done what I need to do
No one else can make
This journey for me
Neither he, she or you.

My heart aches
That you don’t know
This to be true.

But then what do I know
About your journey
That journey, like my journey
You’re travelling too.

My heart aches
For the girl I use to be
Finding it hard accepting
This woman I am to be.

I was innocent then
Accepting and carefree.
What happened
To that girl?

Where could she be?
Life took a toll
Leaving her as you see.

Must accept this woman
Must be pleased
And certainly see
a beautiful person too
Just not as carefree.

Happy yes, more so now
Than ever could be.
So love this woman
Because she is me.
