sad, broken heart, hurt, shattered, destroyed

Sometimes life is like going on burning coal All your thoughts are about caring for your open wounds The fire burns, no water to find, not even tears Fire determines its own direction, it follows the wind You are lost for words because of betrayal and lies Piercing in heart as no one can see And yet you bring your swords and knives It's not about who win or lose The coal will one day burn out and the wounds heal 20.10.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Completly correct Sunshine...The urge can be overwhelming to get "justice" which can deepen the wounds beyond repair... "The coal will one day burn out and the wounds heal"
