Darkness Is a Broken Heart
Have you seen darkness or felt it's sting?
Tell me do you know darkness as your friend?
Has darkness ever made your ears to ring?
Searing pain and sorrow make your heart rend?
The mind plays tricks, but the heart can feel.
What is darkness; does it shadow your soul?
Can you handle the pain that life does deal?
Is it fear, or is it an empty bowl?
Oh tell me of sorrows that weaken your spirit!
I'll listen to every tear that must drop...
Tell me of fears and years of pain, I must hear it!
I'll hinge on your words my breathing will stop.
I have been where you are and ever am there now...
I can gently hold in my hands, your heart.
I know your pain, your sorrows and this is my vow...
Soothe your aches, keep you from falling apart...
I have no friend in darkness yet it follows me...
What is darkness, I ask you, don't you know?
Darkness is the sorrow of a heart that is broken...
It finds me, tracks me where ever I go...
Can I ever be free from the darkness of love?
Or will I forever be trapped and bound?
Stop… Think… Be quiet! You've been there before!
Hush! Whatever you do, don’t make a sound…
I can feel the darkness finding me again!
I can’t run, I’m out of breath, I fall to the ground and weep…
