A Heart Once Lost

As I lay awake in the twilight, lost in thought. All my past demons awaken I once fought. The sorrow takes over me so strong and deep. My inner soul continues to weep. Where all my woeful feelings I do keep. My tears pour like a summer's rain. This beautiful heart is torn apart by all this pain. My saddened heart bleeds from my inner soul What now is just a crumbled mess which once was whole. As I watch my past life flash before me, My tear stained eyes slowly close so I don't have to see. The life I thought was once complete is nothing but a distant memory. Pieces of my broken heart are left behind. A shattered woman is what you will find. I can't be that person anymore. I need to feel what I once felt before. It's time to open my heart's closed door. Love brings with it joy,happiness, and sorrow. In order for me to live again, I have to love again like there maybe no tomorrow. My heart cries to be once truly loved. So I call upon my faith and God above. Take away from my heart this melancholy place. Fill it with all the love I can give in it's space. Give me the courage to fight the demons I must face. Life is short and if we dwell on mistakes of yesterday. It's impossible to let love find it's own way. I ask for the inner courage to give my heart away. Let all the bad memories remain secluded in the past. Open this bruised and closed heart to a love that will last.
