The Heart Is Shadowed

The heart is shadowed The mind is hollow The road forward is blocked The road behind angry mobs follow I run down to the left to the right And find the sorrows of the heart Overflowing Where then do I go I trust in my loved one to be strong I trust in my loved one But all to often am left in tears and a drowning sea Where am I meant to go Where do I turn What do I do. What can I do to make them realize I love them. But I am not able to do much To pick them up. To make them right To bring them happiness and life. I've paid the price many times over So why are they forever hurting when I need them most. Why can't they stop degrading themselves When all things leave me in a cloud of pain and sorrows. Where I once sought light in? Do I dare to look to that source still? I miss the past self that loved and supported and didn't leave me a mess of misery and times left scrambling in a mess To find the way to improve our lifes.
