Duplex

Split family

My pain
within 
my heart 
wont die

I try
in vain
to be 
happy

The sun
shines the
rain falls 
seasons
changing

The bonds
broken
daughter 
hurting 
time lost

Memoir
happy
but sad
mind cries 
hearts tears
 
Soul longs 
for love 
all gone
 
With new 
love for
me true
but one
never 
again
never 
the same
 
Now lost
always
to live
without
is pain
to love
again
for sure

As one
never 
again
