Broken Heart

Running out of time so it seems....

I can’t make any promises to anyone....

I had so many dreams....

There are days I wish I was in heaven....

Everyday I put on a show....

My dreams go up in smoke....

I don’t want my loved ones to know....

How bad my heart feels choked....

I fight this daily on my own....

Too afraid of what others will think of me....

Also afraid to answer the phone....

This isn’t how I imagined my life to be....

My life I need to change for me now....

Words still screaming in my head....

I’m just not sure how....

To fix a broken heart that is dead
