Heavy Heart

My heart is full, a heavy touch

From grief the dark closes in

A weary brain, tired and grim.

To a quiet place, I retreat.

I travel far, on weary feet.

Dark closes in, takes me away

To a place I would much rather stay.

Feelings of despair, Take me I pray.

Storm clouds close in, wind begins to blow.

Shelter beneath a sturdy tree,

I wish you were here with me.
