Heartache
Too much heartache,
too many tears,
too many wastefully taken lives in the world.
All encompassing and smothering aching pain
I have to shut it out and off,
fading to oblivion
where nothing lives just widespread emptiness.
So much heartache in the world
that it spreads only tears
and every face
cries for recognition, retribution
and finds no peace
only loss and regret.
Too much heartache in the world
so much of it contaminates us,
it touches every soul
that cries done, stop,
wipe away the tears
but leaves us unconsoled.
