Heartache
Love can be the sweetest thing in the world
If you allow it to be unfurled.
But love can also lead to the biggest pain of all, heartache.
If heartbreak
Enters your life
It feels like a knife
In your chest.
Though at first it seemed you were blessed
Your life has now been cursed
And your chest feels as though it will burst
From the pain coursing through it.
You may think the only way to get rid of it is to commit
Suicide. But believe me when I say
That this will not slay
The pain inside.
I broke up with my girlfriend and I cried.
I cried so hard I ran out of tears to cry.
I was ready to die and almost ran in front of a bus.
However I could not do it.
I could not quit.
It hurt to go on,
She was my swan,
And though I remain her friend,
My heart will never amend.
Though her love is gone,
I must fight on
For there is no glory in surrender.
Though my heart will always be tender,
I can not quit,
And I cannot defend it,
Because to defend it is to block others out.
And without
Love in your heart u will die.
You must try
To fight on.
Love is not gone.
Somewhere out there is someone looking for you
So remain true
To yourself and you will find
She who’s fate is entwined
Forever more with yours.
Hers with yours, and yours with hers.
