Bitter Soul

Life is too hard
dying is harder
the burdens of the heart
is too much to bear
 love has one to dwell upon this
lost within emotion
the tides are beyond weathering 
 Going forward is a must
but we look to the past
wondering if things could have been different
drinking allows a moment to forget
but the pain remains
