Dysphoric Heart

feelings that died
or got buried too deep
a dysphoric heart
that is left to weep

a mind that is numb
from the games that were played
a spirit that is shattered
a soul that is grey

no answers that come
to the question "why?"
or the reason you left
which I try to deny

file it  away
like the others before
a window will open
behind this slammed door
