Broken-Hearted I Search
What happened to us my sweetheart,
Where are the days of sweet love gone,
How did so much change so fast,
Why did our morning end before dawn?
Where there was once a beautiful garden
Only dandelions now grow so high,
And in place of the vibrant butterflies
A lonely sparrow silently flies.
I remember how your face gleamed
Blessed with the joy of adorable twins,
Soon after something drove you insane
When you took our kids for a short spin.
Did you go to park, or the ice cream shop?
Don't just sit there, please talk to me,
How did they disappear on your watch?
Where are our twins, where are my babies?
I can't sleep anymore, I hear their cry,
They need my love, they ache for my hug,
It's been so long since I sang a lullaby,
I want to hold tight, hold them so snug!
They are just babies, they didn't abscond,
I feel them near, but don't hear the hearts,
I read them stories but they don't respond,
No one can find them, I'm falling apart.
I can't help them, when I hear their sigh,
I'm reaching out, I won't surrender,
As I yearn for their smile and miss their joy,
You keep telling me you don't remember.
Just tell me sweetheart, did you kill our babies?
Did you just dump them without a goodbye?
Drowned in my grief, your silence is killing me,
Why don't you search, why don't you cry?
