An Aching Heart

An aching heart, an eye with tears
disheveled hair, a mind filled with fears
unanswered questions, pain of the unknown
confusion of spirit, and feeling alone

World of sadness, solitude, empty of fun
never an escape, always on the run
ever soft cheeks, that once had blushed
replaced now, with a heart that is crushed

This life is not a life, you're trapped inside
you just want to sleep, you just want to hide
if you could disappear, you know you would
out of this world, it could only be good

Then appears a thought, your composure do you retain
chance to fight this sadness, as your control you regain
the sunrise brings a warmth, and with it your smile
that there is a tomorrow, to this can be no denial
 
One thing is yours, it forever holds true
that ability to hope, and for time to renew  
this world of happiness, you once had, of old 
for you to have yet again, yours alone to hold.....
